ABSTRACT:
An operating system may be stored in a reprogrammable memory. The memory may store a primary operating system and recovery operating system. The recovery operating system may automatically obtain a new operating system to replace a corrupted or outdated operating system. In some embodiments, this avoids the need to call upon the user to load the new operating system through a disk drive and to undertake a time consuming installation procedure.
