First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for inserting files onto a mass storage device, comprising:
- a target module that is typically executed during a boot sequence;
a content module including at least one file;
a utility module to move the content module onto a mass storage device; and
a locate/swap module to replace the target module with the utility module so that the utility module is executed during the boot sequence to move the content module onto the mass storage device, wherein said locate/swap module saves a copy of the target module prior to replacing the target module with the utility module.

9. A system for transferring files onto a mass storage device, comprising:
-
a target module that is typically executed during a boot sequence;
an initial start-up application (ISUA) to allow automatic launching of preinstalled programs;
a utility module to move the ISUA onto a mass storage device; and
a locate/swap module to replace the target module with the utility module so that the utility module is executed during the boot sequence to move the ISUA onto the mass storage device, wherein the load/swap module saves a copy of the target module prior to replacing the target module with the utility module. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
