System Software Functions
Samsung Recovery Solution provides system software so that
you can reinstall or copy the device drivers and system software
necessary for normal operations onto a separate storage device.
Restore Function
Not only can you use Samsung Recovery Solution when Windows
is running, but also when you are unable to boot up into Windows.
Let’s learn how to use Samsung Recovery Solution.
Optional functions such as Initial State Image, Initial Status Backup,
and Partitioning are only available in some models.
If the image of the initial state is saved on a DVD or removable
storage device, connect the DVD drive or removable storage
device to the computer before using the function.
Partition Setup & Initial Status Backup
If you turn your computer on for the fi rst time, the Initial Status
Backup function is performed after registering Windows. This
function saves an image of the Initial Status of the C drive to a
secure location so that users can restore the computer to the
Initial Status using the Complete Restore function. An Initial Status
Backup is only performed once immediately after the computer is
purchased.
