A system and method for accessing a hidden partition during a boot
sequence is disclosed. An information handling system can include a basic
input output system (BIOS) that can be operable to access a master boot
record (MBR) of a storage device. The digital media storage device can
include a fixed number of visible partitions and at least one hidden
partition. The information handling system can further include a
processor operable to detect a boot event operably associated with
initiating a request to access contents that can be stored within an
associated hidden partition of the storage device. The information
handing system can also include a memory that can be operable to store at
least a portion of the contents of the hidden partition. The contents can
be stored upon accessing the hidden partition using an association
established between one of the fixed number of visible partitions and the
hidden partition.
