Abstract
A storage device actuator on an information handling system accepts an end user input to eject a first non-volatile storage device that stores the operating system running on the information handling system. Boot logic running on firmware of the information handling system initiates a shutdown of the operating system at the information handling system in response to an eject actuation and then permits ejection of the first non-volatile storage device. The storage device actuator detects insertion of a second non-volatile storage device into the information handling system and in response to the detection of the insertion initiates a boot by the boot logic of an operating system stored on the second non-volatile storage device.
