Hi Chris.

Simply with my own disk and the product key which is on the label on the underside of the machine. In fact, that was one of the first things I did. Recovery Solution partitions off half of the hard drive which is nonsense as firstly my entire system setup doesn't usually exceed about 12GB and secondly, its only a 160GB hard drive so that's 68GB taken out of commition for no reason what so ever.

All the best, Ibrahim.

So how do you reinstall Windows then if you don't have the Recovery Solution software?

Hi Chris.

Most of them are, I've been able to use magic keyboard, magic doctor, display manager and update plus with little or no difficulty with jaws. As for the others, I don't usually touch them and I don't have recovery solution installed so I can't comment on the accessibility or lack there of on that application.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Ibrahim, are all these utilities accessible even with the JAWS cursor?

Hi Terry.

Perhaps if I gave you a rundown of what each utility does, you'd be in a better position to decide which ones you want to keep and which ones you can remove: Samsung Battery Manager: This is a tool that allows you to set power saving options and manage your battery by turning off various components that you may not be using. This utility is also responsible for speed stepping the processor where you are not performing processor intensive tasks which will in turn prolong your battery life during use. Display Manager: This utility allows you to customise display settings such as brightness, contrast and screen rotation. This utility is also responsible for adjusting the screen resolution and defining the hotkeys that you can use to control the above and other settings. Magic Doctor: This is a system diagnostic tool. It will help you identify components that may not be working by analysing your windows configuration for missing or corrupted system files. It also can compile a detailed system report which you can then send to Samsung technical support who will request this if you raise a support issue with them. Magic Keyboard: This utility is responsible for managing all the shortcut keys on the netbook. Without this tool, you won't be able to make any adjustments to your computer using the defined shortcut keys as detailed in the user manual. EDS: This is a utility that optimises sound output. Enhanced Digital Sound abbreviated to EDS has a number of preset sound modes for certain types of entertainment listening, it also has a volume levelling feature. Recovery Solution: This tool is a staple component of your system and is responsible for backing up and restoring your system to or from the backup partition it created during system setup should it become necessary. This tool can also create recovery disks by backing up the recovery partition to a set of disks or an external hard drive. Network Manager: This handy little tool allows you to define different network profiles for different networks and easily switch between them. For instance, if you have specific network configuration settings for your office yet you connect to a wireless router at home, you can use network manager to save profile information and use a set profile when you connect to a wired or wireless network. Update Plus: The name says it all. This utility will check for updates to drivers and installed Samsung utilities to make sure that you are running the latest versions. If I've missed anything out from the above list, please let me know, but I didn't want to give you my specific recommendations as I want you to choose what's best for your specific needs.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Chris.

The Samsung ones will work with windows 7 natively so I understand, its just in case you want to enable the Samsung specific functionality like the hotkeys or if you want the battery saving functions etc that Samsung provide. All the hardware though like the network both wired and wireless, sound, graphics, external ports, camera, mouse and so on will work without any need for external drivers to be installed.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hello all,
Out of all the netbooks, which one(s) will run Windows 7 without the need to install third party drivers? Just curious as I'm now doing a re-think in case my laptop doesn't come back from repair. Please advise. Thanks.
