Abstract
Approaches for managing pre-boot drivers, programs, and data. A BIOS, operating in a pre-boot environment, establishes a connection to a remote server. The BIOS determines whether the server has any updates to be performed to the BIOS using the connection. The BIOS may also perform a discovery process to discover devices operationally connecting to the BIOS and load drivers associated therewith. The BIOS may also establishes a wireless connection to a device, such as a phone, while the BIOS operates in a pre-boot environment. The BIOS may provide, using the connection, the device with access to data stored upon the apparatus, such as picture files, music files, video files, documents, emails, and other media files or objects stored on said device.
