Instant Restoration Mode Partition OS-EasyOSS modes explain When installed the DOS and Windows driver of OSS, the operating system can be protected and restored normally. The use of OSS has restore, write in, reserve, open modes. Several Restore System operation modes analyze:

The operating system can be protected and restored normally when installed the Dos and Windows driver. To Restore System, there are several hotkey operations like Restore/Write in/reserved/Open mode. In the showing pictures, protected area means the protected data in the Operation System partition; Operating area means the user¡s operation after entering the system, such as the use of software, add/remove software, and install/delete files. A. Protected mode

Select a system to enter in protected mode (directly by the Enter key), you can execute any operation in the system, just restart the computer, and press Enter key to enter the system, all of the previous operations will be restored immediately. B. Open mode

Select a system to enter as Open mode (by Ctrl + Enter key to enter), you can execute any operation in the system, after restarted the computer, and press Enter key to enter the system, all of the previous operations will be saved in the disk. C. Manually writes in mode

Select a system to enter in protected mode (directly by the Enter key to enter), you can execute any operation in the system, after restarted the computer, and press Ctrl+B key to enter the system, all of the previous operations will be saved in the disk. D. Manually Restore Mode

When the system¡s restore type set as ¡manually¡, all the operation in Operating System will be reserved, if we want to restore Operating System to the initial state, just press Ctrl+R(Restore) key to clear all the operating data, system will restore to the initial state. E. Reserved mode

Select a system to enter in protected mode (directly by the Enter key to enter), you can execute any operating in the system, restart the computer, and press Ctrl+K(Reserved) to re-enter Operating System, the previous operations will be temporarily retained in the hard disk until after restarting to enter in protected mode(directly by the Enter key) system will be restored to its original state. Appendix 2 Options explain: Attribution (Partition Type): Means the partitions¡ restore type. It contains the following method: Ⅰ. Instant Restoration Mode Partition（A）: Within this partition type, all changes will be instantly restored to its original state with a simple reboot.

Backup Restoration Mode Partition（B）: Setup this partition type, you can backup data manually, or restore the original data with preset schedules. Support all Operating Systems in the market. Ⅲ. No Restoration Mode partition（C）: This partition type is totally open, no protection or backup function is provided. Any changes done in this partition will permanently remain. Ⅳ. Private Data Partition（P）: This partition type will only be visible for the boot partition (Type A/B/C) with the same name in the setup menu. It will be invisible when booting from any other partitions. This is excellent for constantly changing data that is exclusive to one OS. (Logs, etc.) For example, if the name of boot partition is 【WinVISTA】, then the name of its private data partition must be 【WinVISTA】 as well. Ⅴ. Shared Data Partition（S）: This partition type will be visible for every booting partition, Excellent for sharing data between different OS, every OS can visit it, like partition D/E/F. Ⅵ. Hide Partition（H）: This partition type will be invisible for every OS.

5.4.6 Modify partition type

1) Partition type can be modified to any type, corresponding is A/C/P/S/B/H attribute in DOS menu of Hardware, the first four types can be modified by the partition type changing directly; 2) The H type modification is different with the other four partition types, it is only used by the affiliated partitions (example: P (private data partition)/S (share data partition) have its bootable partition in an Operating system, so P/S partition are the affiliated partition of

boot partition.). You can select ¡ ¡ to Hide or show the partition in operating system.

3) Type B supports forward modification, but not support reverse modification. That mean other types could not change to type B, and when type B change to other types, the backup disk space for Type B will be hidden, and it could not be used after the DOS

repartition in Hardware. 4) The unallocated type H space (hidden partition) in DOS could not be changed in Windows, and the Windows Type H-hidden partition can display in DOS as type H. As shown in the following:

5.4.7 Modify partition name

Modify partition name, you modify the partition name by entering characters manually to the selected partition. When you modify bootable partition name, the affiliated partition ((example: P (private data partition)/S (share data partition) have its bootable partition in an Operating system, so P/S partition are the affiliation partition of boot partition.)) name will auto change to the affiliated bootable partition name. The private data partition name could not be changed, share data partition name modification only changes its identity.
