Abstract
A method of enabling a user to upgrade an information handling system which includes storing an application within an embedded partition during the fabrication of the information handling system and storing a smart master boot record on the information handling system which enables access to the application stored within the embedded partition of the information handling system is disclosed.
Claims21
A method of enabling a user to upgrade an information handling system comprising:
- storing an application within an embedded partition during the fabrication of the information handling system;
- storing a smart master boot record on the information handling system, the smart master boot record enabling access to the application stored within the embedded partition of the information handling system.
An apparatus for enabling a user to upgrade an information handling system comprising:
- means for storing an application within an embedded partition during the fabrication of the information handling system;
- means for storing a smart master boot record on the information handling system, the smart master boot record enabling access to the application stored within the embedded partition of the information handling system.
An information handling system for enabling a user to upgrade an information handling system comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing an application within an embedded partition, the application being stored within the embedded partition during the fabrication of the information handling system;
- and,
- a smart master boot record stored on the information handling system, the smart master boot record enabling access to the application stored within the embedded partition of the information handling system.
