Abstract
A method and system for restoring an operating environment in a computer system. A request to install a target operating environment on a computer system is received at an application. The application transmits a first notification to the computer system. In response to the first notification, the computer system automatically retrieves an image, wherein the image comprises the target operating environment. The computer system automatically restores the image on the computer system such that the target operating environment is installed on the computer system. The computer system automatically transmits a second notification to the application when the image is restored. The present invention provides a method and system for automating the installation of an operating environment on a computer system.
