A computer-implemented method to deploy a pre-boot environment in a computing system is described. A protected area may be created at a first location on a data storage device of the computing system. An operating system may be installed in the protected area at the first location on the data storage device. The pre-boot environment is modified to enable an address offset mode. The pre-boot environment is installed in an unprotected area at a second location on the data storage device.
