Getting Started
1.1 Before you install…
Please make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements:
Component Minimum Requirements
Operating System Windows XP or later
PC Memory (RAM) 512 MB
Available hard disk
space
You will need between 430 MB and 1 GB of free
space to install Norton Ghost and its related
software components.
CD-ROM or DVD-
ROM drive
The drive can be any speed, but it must be capable
of being used as a startup drive from the BIOS.
Software Windows XP users will need to install the
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later to run
Norton Ghost.
If the .NET Framework is not already installed, you
are prompted to install it after Norton Ghost is
installed and your computer is restarted.
NOTE: If you are using a notebook computer, you must purchase a
separate USB to SATA adapter cable for the data migration step.
1.2 Installing Norton Ghost
NOTE: The CD included with your SSD is in English only. Norton Ghost is
available in 10 languages, however. If you would like to download a copy
in your native language, please visit www.samsung.com/ssd or follow the
direct download link in the “Site Link” section of the Samsung SSD Magician
software. You will find two files available to download for each language:
(1) a full ISO file containing both Norton Ghost and Symantec Recovery
Disk (SRD) software, and (2) a simple setup file containing only the Norton
Ghost software. The SRD feature allows you to boot from CD if Windows
cannot start. If you want to take advantage of the full functionality of
Norton Ghost, you should download and burn the ISO file to a CD.
Instructions for how to burn the ISO file can be found in Appendix 1.
