Abstract
A system comprises non-volatile storage, a read only memory (ROM) that contains an executable BIOS and a CPU communicatively coupled to the non-volatile storage and the ROM. The non-volatile storage contains user data, an executable capture application, a first operating system contained within a non-volatile storage partition, and a partition file that contains a second operating system. The partition file is also included with the non-volatile storage partition. The capture application executes under the first operating system and causes the CPU to store at least some user data in said partition file. The system may also include a user input control and, upon activation of the user input control, the CPU loads the second operating system from the partition file and provides the user access to the user data via a viewer application that runs under the second operating system.
