Abstract: A system and method for changing partition mappings to logical drives in a memory device of a computer. The computer includes a processor for running operating system code and a hard drive. The hard drive, which can be accessed by the processor, includes at least one partition. When the computer boots up, a logical reference value in the operating system code points to the partition. After the partition has been initialized or modified, a reference-updating routine is run for dynamically updating the logical reference value to correctly map to the partition. The reference-updating routine first locates and flushes any caches in the computer and closes any open files accessible by the operating system code. The routine then loads a boot record for the partition and retrieves specific data therefrom. With the retrieved data, the routine updates the logical reference value.

Abstract: A pet bed includes a frame having a leg portion and a detachable portion. A support surface is attached to the frame and is suspended by the frame in an elevated position. The detachable portion is inserted through an edge portion of the support surface. The edge portion of the support surface extends from the detachable portion of the frame and overlaps the leg portion of the frame for forming a skirt which covers the detachable portion of the frame and a portion of each of the legs.
