ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for loading a limited-purpose operating system on a general-purpose computing device are provided. One such system includes a general-purpose computing device having a data storage system including a partition having a general-purpose and a limited-purpose operating system stored thereon. The data storage system includes machine executable code for loading the limited-purpose operating system into memory responsive to an indication that the general-purpose computing device is to be used for a limited purpose, the loading commenced under control of the general-purpose operating system. The data storage system further includes machine executable code for implementing the limited purpose, the code for implementing the limited purpose executed under control of the limited-purpose operating system. The file system for the limited-purpose operating system may be mounted in a directory on the partition or a virtual drive.
