Abstract
A method and system for migrating a computer operating system to a personal computer includes the process of and instructions for detecting dynamically the type of disk operating system (DOS) network device to be booted by an associated DOS network by examining or parsing the contents of the personal computer CMOS/BIOS. The invention dynamically selects the proper image for the personal computer in a function of information within the computer's CMOS/BIOS. In response to this information, the system of the present invention automatically backs up user data files resident on the personal computer to a remote location via a computer network and installs the operating system to which the migration is to occur in the personal computer. Thereafter, the system dynamically restores the user data files from the remote location.
