ABSTRACT:
A portable computing device, in which an internal non-volatile memory drive that is used to boot to a functional device GUI is automatically swapped with a temporary RAM drive if the internal non-volatile memory drive is found to be corrupted. The non-volatile memory is typically Flash memory, but the principle of the present invention can be applied to any kind of non-volatile memory that could become corrupted. Default configuration files may be automatically copied to the RAM drive. These may, for example, allow at least emergency voice calls to be made.
