ABSTRACT:
A method of determining a pattern of usage of a computer system. The method may be performed by a computer (1) having a bootable writable storage medium and (2) executing a usage-monitor program stored in the boot-up portion of the storage medium. The method may include signaling the presence of the usage-monitor program and overwriting the usage-monitor program with another computer program or a standard boot-sector. Alternatively, the method may be performed by a computer hard disk drive having (1) a vritable storage medium, (2) firmware, and (3) executing a usage-monitor program stored in the firmware. This method may include writing information representative of at least one command sent to the computer hard disk drive on the storage medium.
