Samsung NP-Q1U UMPC Factory Restore
I've had this UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) for a while now but only just got around to performing a factory restore on it using the manufacturers disc images as I found the discs on the Internet Archive (www.archive.org), only issue was, it was in Russian so spent quite some time getting it to English UK settings!

How To Create A Backup Image of a CD and Upload it to the Internet Archive Website
Drivers for Windows 95 and Windows 98 laptops are not always easy to find so it comes in handy if you have the original System Restore Disks that may have originally come with the laptop but the world of Retro Computing isnt always that forthcoming as a lot of the discs have been either lost or thrown away over the years - so what can you do to get hold of old system restore discs I hear you ask?!
Well, you can visit https://www.archive.org which is the Internet Archive website and you can see if anyone has uploaded a backup copy there that you can download, burn to a disc and then restore your Vintage/Retro laptop back to factory settings!
The only way these disc images get on to the Internet Archives website is by people uploading disc images of the Restore Discs that they have. This is why it is important that if you have any system restore discs, when you get a chance, make backup images of them and get them uploaded to the site.
In this quick video I will show you one way of creating a CD disc backup and how easy it is to upload them to the Internet Archives website...
