Abstract
Firmware is interactively recoverable prior to loading an operating system on a computer. Rather than proceeding through a recovery without user input, user input about a recovery is solicited after determining that an update is needed. Prior to recovering the firmware, users may be able to, for example, specify configuration options about the recovery, cancel the update altogether, and specify a firmware image location. Once input is received, the firmware recovery proceeds.
