A system includes an emulation memory having a first sector of non-volatile memory for storing information, in which the non-volatile memory includes a plurality of records. It is determined if a last record written of the plurality of records is a compromised record, if the last record written is not a compromised record, a next write is performed to a record of the plurality of records that is next to the last record written. If the last record written is a comprised record, an address of the compromised record is determined, valid data for the address of the compromised record is written into the record of the plurality of records that is next to the compromised record, and data is written into a record that is next to the record of the plurality of records that is next to the compromised record.
