ABSTRACT:
A set top box for a television includes a hard drive, a random access memory, and a non-volatile memory. To maintain functionality of the device after a crash of the hard drive, the non-volatile memory includes an executable program for downloading a secondary operating system from a remote server or other secondary storage during a startup when the primary operating system in the hard drive is not accessible. The secondary operating system is stored in the random access memory and is a functional subset of the primary operating system to allow the use of the primary functionality of the set top box until the hard disk drive is repaired or replaced.
