摘要： A computer system is disclosed that includes a primary processor and a service processor operable regardless of a power state of the computer system. A non-volatile memory device is communicatively coupled to the primary processor and the service processor. The non-volatile memory device stores firmware which includes a first list of patches required for installation on the computer system and a second list of patches previously installed on the computer system. A comparator module is provided to determine whether there are patches included in the first list that are not included in second list. A boot module is provided to boot a maintenance operating system in the event the first list includes patches not included in the second list. The maintenance operating system is configured to install, on the computer system, patches included in the first list but not the second list.

摘要： The present invention comprises a method and system for configuring the language of a BIOS of a computer system. The method and system comprise providing a plurality of BIOS images in the computer system, each of the plurality of BIOS images being related to a particular language, selecting one of the pluralities of BIOS images based on the language supported by the computer system and utilizing the selected BIOS to configure the computer system. Through the use of the method and system in accordance with the present invention, the language being supported by the computer system is determined when the computer system is booted up as opposed to when the computer system is being built. This results in an increase in manufacturing productivity since original equipment manufacturers can build computer systems without having to worry about language restrictions.

摘要： A computer system (e.g., a personal computer (PC)) is loaded with multiple versions of the bootable program (e.g., an operating system (OS)). The boot record for each bootable program version is hashed to produce a digest and the digest is signed using the cryptographic signature engine using the program's private installation key. The resulting signature, along with data indicating the program's name and version, is stored in fields of the non-volatile memory. When the system boots with a version of the program, the active entry is decrypted and the resulting data is compared. If a new version is being booted, then it is determined if the new version is the alternative entry. If so, the active entry is discarded and the alternative version is moved to be the active entry and the system boots with the new version of the program.
摘要翻译：计算机系统（例如，个人计算机（PC））被加载有多个版本的可引导程序（例如，操作系统（OS））。每个可引导程序版本的启动记录被散列以产生摘要，并且使用密码签名引擎使用程序的专用安装密钥对摘要进行签名。所得到的签名以及指示程序的名称和版本的数据被存储在非易失性存储器的字段中。当系统使用程序版本引导时，将激活活动条目并比较生成的数据。如果正在启动新版本，则确定新版本是替代条目。如果是这样，活动条目被丢弃，替代版本被移动为活动条目，并且系统使用新版本的程序引导。

摘要： The hard disk drive of a computer system is loaded with a preloaded image including an operating system, a number of application programs, and a device driver installation routine, all of which are not dependent on the hardware configuration of the computer system. A hidden partition of the hard disk drive is also loaded with a number of device drivers, which are dependent upon the hardware configuration. During the first boot only of the preloaded image, the device drivers are installed by the device driver installation routine.

摘要： A method and system for recovering a master boot record within a data processing system. In accordance with the method of the present invention, a master boot record recovery setup utility is invoked by a user. In response to invoking the master boot record recovery utility, the master boot record in a first bootable device is copied to an alternate non-volatile storage device. A recovery flag is set within BIOS indicating that the MBR has been securely copied. In response to a failed boot attempted from the first boot device, the copy of said master boot record within said alternate non-volatile storage device is accessed and utilized to boot the system.

摘要： A method and system are disclosed for automating migration of user system settings from an existing computer system to a replacement computer system in response to a user input. Selected portions of the registry, or central hierarchial data base within the existing computer system are automatically copied and stored in response a user input. A plurality of application program interface (API) routines are then initiated to retrieve and store selected settings within the existing computer system. Adapter binding information for all adapters within the existing computer system are retrieved and stored. The selected portions of the registry, selected settings and adapter binding information are then transferred to the replacement computer system and copied into appropriate registry keys, directories and files, effectively transferring the system settings from the existing computer system to the replacement computer system.
