Abstract
A system and method for correcting a boot error is disclosed. The system comprises a solid-state nonvolatile memory device, the solid-state nonvolatile memory device storing a boot loader at a predetermined block having a first address on the solid-state nonvolatile memory device. The system further comprises a main controller that retrieves the boot loader from the predetermined block upon powering up. The system also includes a monitoring module configured to monitor an initial boot sequence of the main controller and to determine when the predetermined block has a read inability error. The main controller obtains a backup boot loader from a backup block when the monitoring module determines that the predetermined block is corrupted.
