Når din computer skal have opdateret sin firmware er det ofte en udfordring da mange computer producenter laver software der kun kan bruges hvis du har Windows installeret.
Ligeledes kan det være at det er nødvendigt at starte et system for at reparere beskadigede systemfiler eller for at rense systemet for skadelig software.
Her listes nogle eksempler på muligheder for at starte computeren med henblik på vedligeholdelse eller reparation
