Abstract
A method and system for providing an event driven hardfile image in a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a hardfile, a hardfile adapter, a master boot record and an operating system. The method and system include providing an extended physical partition table describing a plurality of partitions on the hardfile and defining at least one image using a utility. Each image corresponds to at least a portion of the plurality of partitions and to a corresponding event. An image is to be mapped to the master boot record in response to an occurrence of the corresponding event. The method and system also include providing an event driven table including each of the at least one image.
