Abstract: In one embodiment, a data processing system includes a guest account that is configured to assist in the protection and recovery of the data processing system when it is lost or stolen. In one embodiment, the guest account can allow Internet access and can include a web browser to allow the guest, who might be a thief, to use the system to browse the Internet. While such use occurs, the system can perform actions specified by an authorized user of the system, and such actions can include determining a location of the system and transmitting the location to the authorized user, erasing data on the system, displaying a message, capturing an image, etc.

Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for restoring a computing device to an operable state when a software update renders the computing device inoperable. According to some embodiments, a snapshot of a file system volume is automatically generated prior to executing the software update. When an issue is detected with the software update—e.g., the computing device freezes, the computing device cannot boot into an operable mode, etc.—the computing device can (1) automatically enter into a restoration mode, and (2) restore the file system volume to its previous state in accordance with the snapshot. In this manner, the issues caused by the software update are entirely mitigated, and the computing device can transition back into an operable state.

Abstract: An indication is received from a user to initiate installation of an operating system onto a storage device of a computer. The storage device is partitioned into an original partition and a new partition. Installation software for the operating system is loaded onto the new partition. The computer is booted into the installation software on the new partition. The operating system is installed onto the original partition via the installation software on the new partition. The computer is then re-booted into the operating system on the original partition and the new partition is removed from the storage device.
