摘要： Hacking a rental computer to use it beyond purchased rental time is prevented by plugging a time card with internal counter into a DIMM socket of the motherboard and encrypting the register locations of the time card with the private key of the motherboard to bind the time card to the motherboard. Thus, if the time card is not detected at boot or if it is removed during operation the computer is disabled. The counter counts down the rented time period as it receives clocking signals, and at the elapse of the purchased period disables the computer.
摘要翻译： 将出租计算机用于超出购买的租赁时间的情况下，可以通过将带有内部计数器的时间卡插入主板的DIMM插槽，并用主板的私钥将时间卡的注册位置加密，将时间卡绑定到 主板。 因此，如果在启动时未检测到时间卡，或者在操作期间删除了时间卡，则计算机被禁用。 计数器会收到租用的时间段，因为它收到时钟信号，并且在购买的时间段过去禁用计算机。

摘要： A “setmax” command is issued in BIOS to hide the service area (HPA) of a HDD during normal operation, so that the HPA cannot be accessed or erased inadvertently by the user or by a virus. Pressing a special key (e.g., F11) during booting permits access to the HPA.
摘要翻译： 在BIOS中发出“setmax”命令，以在正常操作期间隐藏HDD的服务区（HPA），使得HPA无法被用户或病毒无意中访问或擦除。 在启动过程中按特殊键（例如F11），可以访问HPA。

摘要： A system and method that rejuvenates a computer system is provided. The user uses the computer system that includes an operating system and applications for a first period of time creating data files and applying patches to the operating system and applications. An image is created of the primary drive and stored on a second nonvolatile storage area. In one embodiment, the second nonvolatile storage area is a hidden partition of a hard drive. The user continues using the system during a second period of time. When the computer system becomes sluggish, the primary drive is reformatted and the image is copied from the second nonvolatile storage area to the primary drive. In addition, patches and applications installed after the image was created are stored to the second nonvolatile storage area and reapplied and reinstalled on the primary drive after the image has been copied to the primary drive.

摘要： A system, method, and program product is provided that updates the firmware on a hybrid drive by reserving a memory area within the hybrid disk drive's nonvolatile memory buffer. The firmware update is then stored in the reserved memory area. The next time the platters of the hybrid disk drive spin up, the firmware update that is stored in the reserved memory area is identified. The identified update is then written to a firmware memory of a firmware that controls the operation of the hybrid drive. In one embodiment, the update is written to the firmware memory by flashing the firmware's memory. After the firmware is updated, the hybrid drive is reset. Resetting of the hybrid drive includes executing the updated firmware.

摘要： A system, method, and program product is provided that has a virtualized environment provided by a hypervisor. In the virtualized environment, one or more guest operating systems operate simultaneously with a privileged operating system. One of the guest operating systems identifies a device software update, such as a device driver or firmware update, corresponding to a hardware device that is attached to the computer system. The hypervisor is used to notify the privileged operating system of the device software update. When the privileged operating system is notified of the update, the privileged operating system uses one or more techniques to deny the guest operating systems access to the device. The privileged operating system then updates the device software update. After the device software update has been applied, the privileged operating system resumes access between the guest operating systems and the hardware device.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.
摘要翻译： 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。
