Abstract: In the event of a virally infected MBR on a hard disk drive that might prevent booting, a service MBR in a hidden protected area (HPA) can be used to boot a service O.S., and then the service MBR can be replaced with a previously backed-up MBR, also in the HPA, to mount any missing partitions.

Abstract translation: 如果硬盘驱动器上有病毒感染的MBR可能会阻止启动，则可以使用隐藏保护区域（HPA）中的服务MBR来引导服务操作系统，然后将服务MBR替换为先前支持的 -up MBR（也在HPA中）安装任何丢失的分区。

Abstract: In a hypervisor-based computing system, each guest operating system (GOS) is associated with multiple plug-in modules, with each module being configured to execute a respective function. The hypervisor also includes plug-in modules mirroring those of the GOS to provide for enhanced functionality on a module-by-module basis.

Abstract translation: 在基于管理程序的计算系统中，每个客户操作系统（GOS）与多个插件模块相关联，每个模块被配置为执行相应的功能。 管理程序还包括镜像GOS的插件模块，以逐个模块的形式提供增强的功能。

Abstract: A method for booting into computer memory a non-operating system (O.S.) program from a hard disk drive (HDD) prior to booting into memory an O.S. from the HDD. The method includes establishing a table of contents (TOC) on the HDD that contains entries for special O.S. programs. A pointer to the TOC is placed in non-volatile memory of the computer that is associated with the HDD, and when BIOS of the computer is prompted to load into memory one of the special O.S. programs, the pointer is accessed and used to locate the TOC, which in turn is accessed to load the special O.S. program.

Abstract: Initially, a hardware inventory device is provided within the data processing system. UIC that uniquely identifies the data processing system is stored in a non-erasable memory of the hardware inventory device. An encrypted hash generated by combining the UIC and a BIOS hash is stored in the non-erasable memory of the hardware inventory device. In response to a loading of a software program previously installed within a direct access storage device of the data processing system, the following steps are performed: i. the encrypted hash is obtained from the non-erasable memory of the hardware inventory device; ii. the encrypted hash is decrypted; iii. a new hash is generated by using the UIC and a BIOS from the data processing system, and the decrypted hash is compared with the new hash; and iv. the software program loading is allowed to continue when the decrypted hash matches the new hash.

Abstract: A system and method for hybrid virtual machine monitor system is provided. A first operating system uses a file system to manage data storage and retrieval within a data storage area. A second operating system, which is not compatible with the first operating system's file system, executes a management application backup utility. The first operating system includes a filter driver that sends logical block addresses, which correspond to data reads/writes, to the management application backup utility. In turn, the management application backup utility uses the logical block addresses to perform operations on the data storage locations. In one embodiment, the management application backup utility performs actions on the data storage area, such as a disk defragmentation, and subsequently sends data location changes to the filter driver. In this embodiment, the filter driver instructs the first operating system's file system to update its translation tables based upon the data location changes.

Abstract: An end user or IT owner via the use of an application specifies which TPM is to be loaded or which TPM operation is to be invoked given the authenticated presentation of a biometric such as a fingerprint or a token such as a smart card. A secure table stored in the microcontroller made up of TPM hashes and their corresponding endorsement keys is indexed to these authentication records. The microcontroller compares a received biometric or smart card value to the stored values to determine which TPM emulator to load. This architecture uniquely stores individually secured algorithms, and applications that can be bound to the user and the system on which they are running.

Abstract: Storage capability otherwise going underutilized in a LAN is made available for sharing among workstations connected to the LAN. Systems connected to a LAN are surveyed for storage capability potentially available for sharing, a weighting function is derived for each system which is indicative of shared system storage capability, and data files to be stored are scattered among and gathered from the connected systems.
