Abstract
A data processing system and method are described for permitting a server computer system to remotely initiate a boot block recovery from a failure of a client computer system to successfully complete execution of POST. The client computer system is coupled to a server computer system utilizing a network. The client computer system fails to successfully complete executing POST. Thereafter, the server computer system transmits a recovery POST code to the client computer system utilizing the network. The client computer system executes POST utilizing the recovery POST code, wherein the client computer system is capable of successfully completing execution of POST utilizing the recovery POST code received remotely from the server computer system.
