  • Method and system for automatically booting a computer to run from a removable device
    Patent number: 11392390
    Abstract: A removable device and method for automatically booting a computer running a standard operating system (OS) into an alternative OS. The method comprises a user inserting the removable device into the computer, and the user launching an application stored on the removable device for booting guidance. The user directs the application to boot the computer into the alternative OS, whereupon the application determines a first booting technique to be used on the computer and configures the computer accordingly. The application restarts the computer in an attempt to boot into the alternative OS. If booting the alternative OS fails, the computer boots back into the standard OS, whereupon the application determines a next best booting technique and configures the computer accordingly. This process continues until the alternative OS is successfully booted, or, failing that, the user is given manual booting direction.
