Abstract
Critical resources are identified within a computer system such as operating system files, drivers, modules and registry keys that are used to bootstrap the computer. During a successful bootstrap, these resources are saved into persistent storage during the bootstrap phase. Changes to critical resources are monitored and these resources are backed up if they are changed. Upon computer system failure, steps of identifying the type of failure and an analysis of its root cause are optionally performed. A user is presented with a bootstrap menu and critical resources necessary to bootstrap the computer are retrieved from persistent storage and saved into their appropriate locations. A successful bootstrap is then performed of the computer system in order to recover from the failure.
