Abstract: A method, system and computer program product in which half of the storage space on a non-volatile storage device is used to maintain a copy of the last "known-good" copy of the operating system and on invocation by a user, restoring from this backup copy when, for example, the operating system has become corrupted due to changes made to settings or device drivers.

Abstract: Recovery from corruption of data stored on a computer non-volatile storage device, in particular when the operating system has become corrupted due to changes made to settings or device drivers, and the computer is incapable of booting up. The computer non-volatile memory is partitioned into at least two partitions, which may occupy the same hard disk or different disks. The first partition stores the data, a "last known good" copy of which is backed up to the second partition, for example immediately after the system is first installed or immediately after a successful bootup. The backup application program copies the data sector by sector, fig. 3. The POST/BIOS code held in ROM provides a restoration function which, when invoked via a special user key input combination, copies each sector of the second partition back to the corresponding sector of the first partition, fig. 4. Thus the computer is able to boot from this "known good" configuration.

Abstract: A client is arranged so that at power up it makes a request to a server for first boot code which allows the client to boot from its own mass storage. Since the OS is not sent from the server over the network, traffic flow is eased whilst strict control of client software type is maintained. The configuration of a client may be checked prior to software, particularly OS, installation by a server. The server, detecting a new client on the network, down-loads scan code onto the client. The client then runs the scan code and returns hardware configuration data to the server. If the OS of the client is to be modified then the server sends different, second boot code to the client which instructs the client to boot (a new OS) directly from the server. The OS from the server is then installed on the client mass storage device, and subsequent IPLs take place using the first boot code.

Abstract: Graphic user interface apparatus, for a server computer system which is connectable to a plurality of client computer systems in a computer network, comprises means for displaying a plurality of client indicators, each signifying a different one of the client computer systems, and a plurality of profile indicators, each signifying a different function stored in the server computer system and executable by one or more of the client computer systems. Means is provided for associating a selected profile indicator with a selected client indicator. Loading means loads, in response to the association, the function signified by the selected profile indicator from the server computer system to the client computer system signified by the selected client indicator.
