A system and method for previewing a reboot. In one embodiment the method comprises modifying a configuration of a computer system and previewing a reboot, wherein previewing the reboot comprises comparing a current configuration of the computer system to a predicted configuration of the computer system. In an additional embodiment, the method may further comprise determining errors in the current configuration of the computer system by comparing the current configuration of the computer system to the predicted configuration of the computer system. The system incorporates the idea of a "preview" boot mode for both the operating system and it resource scripts and resources. Application of this method allows the risks associated with boot processes to be safely determined a priori. The method also allows an "instantaneous" reboot by swapping actual data structures and resources with predicted data structures and resources of the live system.
