Pre-boot Applications



AMI's pre-boot applications (PBA) offer system builders the capability to store tools and applications on a hidden partition of the hard disk. Easily activated by a hotkey at startup, AMI PBA tools and services enhance user experience by saving time and eliminating hassles. Recovery and diagnostics services facilitate customer service greatly, promoting a smaller number of customer service calls and speeding up resolution of potential issues.

  • AMI Rescue recovery
