21. A method for migrating data from a storage device, comprising:
-
accessing data on a storage device; removing the storage device from a first computer prior to the accessing data on the storage device; coupling the storage device to a second computer using a Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment prior to the accessing data on the storage device; identifying a first operating system stored on the storage device; identifying one or more settings stored on the storage device; providing at least one interface that allows for selecting the first operating system stored on the storage device, wherein the at least one interface further allows for selecting the one or more settings stored on the storage device, wherein the at least one interface further allows for selecting one or more applications stored on the storage device, wherein the at least one interface comprises; a first interface that allows for the selecting the first operating system stored on the storage device; and a second interface that allows for the selecting the one or more settings stored on the storage device; providing a virtual system based on the one or more settings; initiating a migration of the one or more settings from the storage device; initiating a migration of the one or more applications from the storage device; storing the one or more settings, wherein the storing the one or more settings comprises storing the one or more settings on the second computer, wherein the second computer is operable to execute a second operating system according to the one or more settings, wherein the first operating system is the same or an older edition of the second operating system; storing the one or more applications; transmitting the one or more settings to a third computer, wherein the third computer is operable to execute a third operating system according to the one or more settings.
