In one embodiment, a system and a method for facilitating computer system recovery includes identifying a desired delivery mechanism for performing a recovery, adapting a disk image for use with a particular type of recovery medium if a user communicated a desire to use that recovery medium, and writing the disk image to a target destination.

Systems and methods for facilitating computer system recovery

One embodiment of a bootable Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory device system provides a system and method for booting a processor using a bootable solid-state memory device. Briefly described, the embodiment comprises a USB connector configured to couple to a USB port of a processing system, a solid-state memory coupled to the USB connector, a boot record residing on the solid-state memory, and an operating system residing on the solid-state memory, wherein the boot record is configured to cause the processing system when executing a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) program during a boot process to access the operating system using a logical block address (LBA) format.

Method of indicating a format of accessing an operating system contained on a USB memory device

A technique is provided for coupling and uncoupling modular devices with electronic and computing devices. A latch is coupled to a release member, which operates to release the latch from a mate latch by bending the release member to move the latch laterally away from the mate latch. The release member also may have grips for tool-lessly bending the release member to release the latch from the mate latch, and for removing the desired device. The technique also may embody a modular device having the latch and release member, or it may embody an overall system having the modular device disposed in a receptacle.
