Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for managing exposure to failure for computer-based systems. Information about a computer-based system is asynchronously received. An exposure level to failure of the computer-based system is calculated based on the received information. A stability of the computer-based system is determined based on the exposure level. A stability indication is output responsive to the determined stability.

A system for checking validities of installing hard disks in a computer is provided. The system includes: a calling module (10) for calling BIOS interrupt named INT13; a setting module (11) for setting parameters for the INT13; an executing module (12) for clearing partition tables of OS-less hard disks under DOS; and for reading a partition table of a hard disk installed in a specified interface under Windows; and a detecting module (15) for detecting whether the partition table of the hard disk is null, and for returning a success message if the partition table is not null. A related method is also disclosed.
