Abstract
A system uses a suspend-to-disk operation to save the total processor state of a computer system. With the processor state saved, utility programs such as diagnostic and setup routines, which access to all computer system resources, are executed without the need to reload executing applications or reboot the native operating system controlling the computer system prior to activating the suspend-to-disk operation.
