life nonvolatile memory device 12 and / or external long - life ram device 15 is installed according to the design plan . they may be taken as virtual memory r other kinds of memories for different purposes . external long - life nonvolatile memory devices 11 and 12 controlled by external long - life nonvolatile memory device controller 9 can be same kind or different kind of memory devices , or only one is used in the system . according to design requirement , external long - life ram device controller 14 and external long - life ram device 15 controlled by ram device controller 14 may not be used . for this embodiment , long - life nonvolatile memory chip with infinite read / write capacity and long - life nonvolatile memory devices such as flashrom semiconductor data ram / rom can be used , and in addition , nonvolatile ram with infinite read / write capacity such as magnetic ram ( mram ) or resistance ram ( rram ) can also be used instead of longer -

( 2 ) several physical disks are integrated into a large partition . recording master file data shall start from medium life master memory device . it would be better to record new data as per cancel time order each time when recording new data onto master memory device instead of finding out and recording into space available so that it could prevent the start section of master memory device from damaging because of frequently reading and writing . access of some memory information and file data that need to be frequently rewritten and reread is carried out in the physical partition that consists of external long - life nonvolatile memory device 11 . an address partition , which consists of external long - life nonvolatile memory device 12 and / or external long - life ram device 15 can be taken as virtual memory for data access . ( d ) external long - life nonvolatile memory devices 11 and 12 can be integrated into a chip , on partitions in that chip there can set up “ long - life disk ” or “ virtual disk ”. ( e ) the information that memory includes long - life disk and master disk shall be written into “ internal initialization parameter table ” ( or called “ internal initialization parameter set ”) and / or mbr ( master boot recorder ). in general , that “ internal initialization parameter table ” (“ internal initialization parameter set ”) is in bios of a cpu that controls external memory . in the case the long - life nonvolatile internal memory in the host shall be used , it is necessary to write the information in nonvolatile memory including long - life nonvolatile memory device and short - life nonvolatile memory device , into “ bios ” in the host . of course , “ internal initialization parameter table ” (“ internal initialization parameter set ”) may be in other type of internal / external memories and called other name with same function as “ initialization parameter table ”. the long -

life disk . if long - life flash memory of the present invention is used as hard memory for computer , the information “ internal initialization parameter set ” in that long - life flash memory should be detected automatically by auto - detection function ( ide hdd auto detection ) in bios hard disk of the master board , or read out in proper sequence according to requirements of bios program . related information should be written into long - life disk or master disk in the memory . said “ internal initialization parameter set ” may include the information that should be identified , including mbr ( master boot record ) information in memory device . if long - life nonvolatile memory devices are added into hard disk , it is necessary to add information about long - life disk into “ initialization parameter set ” in hard disk (“ initialization parameter set ” may include the information that should be identified , including mbr ( master boot record ) information in memory device ) should be detected automatically by auto - detection function ( ide hdd auto detection ) in bios hard disk of the master board , or read out in proper sequence through special program and / or operation system and cpu that controls hard disk according to requirements of bios program . there are stored 69 different files in “ initialization parameter set ” in hard disk in module sequence with same names as that of parameters called by bios program , in which partial parameters are described as follows : basic management program in dm hard disk , pl permanent bug table , ts bug magnetic channel table , hs real number of physical head and collating sort , sm highest encryption status and cipher , su user encryption status and cipher , ci hardware information , including used cpu model , bios version , head type and disk type etc , fi manufacturer information , we write error record table , re read error record table , si capacity determination , maximum user capacity ( maxlba ), number of external logic heads that have been changed ( in general , it is 16 ), number of sectors in each magnetic channel ( in general , it is 63 ), zp region allocation information , maximum physical capacity ( one disk is divided into 15 regions , and there are different number of sectors in every region , so as to calculate maximum physical capacity ) and so on . fig2 is a block diagram of hardware layout for 1 st embodiment of this invention , embodying a first form of the invention , shown a circuit in memory control chip for the memories of magnetic disk , magneto -
