<p>A computing device (FIG. 1, 10) manufactured in a build to customer order (BTCO) environment includes an internal disk drive (60) which is loaded with a custom software package during manufacturing. When the user desires to reload the software placed on the internal disk drive (60) during manufacturing, such as after the drive has been replaced or after a virus has degraded the data resident on the internal disk drive, the user can recover the previously installed software package by accessing a network server (100) available on a network (20). In order to assemble the previously installed software package, an identifier is conveyed from the computing device (10) to the network server (100). This enables the network server (100) to ascertain the software package, assemble the package, and transmit the package to the particular computing device (10). <IMAGE></p> |
