An initial setup method () stores recovery tools () and a further setup script () on a computer () which has an operating system () that need not have any recovery capabilities. At the user site, a further setup method () reserves () a container space () in the file system space (), creates () an image () of the main partition (), and stores () the image in the container. If the partition is corrupted later, the computer can still be booted using virtual boot tools (), the image can be retrieved () from the container even though the partition around it was lost, and the image can then be deployed onto disk () over the corrupted partition, thereby restoring a working partition to the computer. This can be done without secondary media such as a recovery CD or floppy, and without a network connection.
