摘要:
A system and method for restoring a master boot record in association with accessing a hidden partition is disclosed. According to one aspect, a method of restoring a master boot record for a storage device is disclosed. The method can include initiating access to a hidden partition stored within a storage device. The method can also include disassociating a visible partition descriptor from a visible partition of the storage device. The method can also include associating the visible partition descriptor with the hidden partition and accessing the hidden partition using the visible partition descriptor. The method can also include reassociating the visible partition descriptor with the visible partition while accessing the hidden partition.

A virtualized, general-purpose computer or consumer electronics (CE) device is provided with and hosts a plug-in module for securely accessing various content services. These modules are referred to as content personalization portable on demand storage units (content personalization PODs).
摘要:
A configurable television broadcast receiving system includes an analog to digital converter that receives a broadcast television (TV) signal and converts it from an analog signal to a digital signal. A communication interface receives the digital signal and communicates it to a general purpose programmable processor. The processor processes the digital signal by performing arithmetic processes to the signal to create a processed signal. A display device is communicatively coupled to the processor, receives the processed signal and displays a video rendition according to the processed signal.
摘要:
An information handling system is provided with an intelligent boot service which addresses and resolves unbootable system scenarios. The intelligent boot service detects and corrects adverse events before booting into the operating system. The intelligent boot service architecture is extensible to add newer events and is extensible to include extensible firmware interface (EFI) technology.
摘要:
A method for sharing Bluetooth pairs across multiple operating system partitions. The method includes the steps of pairing a first operating system partition with a Bluetooth enabled device; determining when a memory of an information handling system includes an additional operating system partition; and, pairing the additional operating system partition with the Bluetooth enabled device when the additional operating system partition is present.
摘要:
A mechanism via which system state changes can be detected and corrected automatically prior to a customer initiated boot. The mechanism is extensible to address newly added or discovered system state changes that result in a locked condition. The mechanism detects and corrects adverse events before booting into the operating system.
摘要:
A method for registering and initiating a pre-boot environment for enabling partitions. The method provides a basic input output system (CIOS) with an application program interface (API) that accesses a Logical Clock Address (LCA) sector number when a boot configuration flag is set, the LCA sector number stores an operating environment manager which then boots the information handling system to an appropriate partition.
摘要:
An intelligent system for determining an optimal partition size on an information handling system. The system provides customers with an improved customer experience by offering a partition that is sized only as large as needed according to optional/locked/trial data downloaded for that system.
摘要:
A simple to customize secure IT infrastructure architecture. The IT infrastructure architecture includes a secure general purpose virtualized architecture platform. The IT infrastructure architecture is well suited for delivering simple pre-packaged software solutions to the small business segment as plug and play type appliances. In certain embodiments, the IT infrastructure architecture includes a secure virtual appliance device such as a virtual appliance universal serial bus (USB) key. The IT infrastructure architecture uses embedded server virtualization technology to host applications as a virtual appliance.
