  • Use of driver and wired connection to diagnose device using disk image
    Patent number: 11461108
    Abstract: In one aspect, a first device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to load a driver responsive to a boot command, where the driver may be loaded prior to the first device loading a guest operating system (GOS) stored at the first device. The instructions may then be executable to use the driver to communicate with a second device to receive a disk image over a wired connection to the second device. The instructions may be further executable to continue booting the first device using the disk image rather than the GOS and to, responsive to the first device being booted using the disk image, communicate with the second device over the wired connection to diagnose one or more issues with the first device.
