    You need to create a recovery drive using a USB flash drive (16 GB or greater) for the UX32VD, if memory serves me correctly. Note that this will not "restore the SSD to it's original shape" though. It will put the system back to factory defaults per the system image loaded on the storage drive from Asus factory. If you mean health per "original shape", then there's not a lot you can do other than preventative measures and the occasional garbage collection clean up for the cells, should the need arise.

    If it's Windows 8 they didn't include Asus AI Recovery program to burn recovery DVD.

    You can download Windows 8 ISO to perform clean install:

    if you still have the Asus recovery partition you can press F9 to reset your hard drive to factory settings:

    Also did you install Intel chipset drivers?

    Hi there,

    Can you please advise how you can create the recovery drive to a USB drive? Do you need to use any software? Your help is much appreciated. Cheers!

    As far as I remember:

    1) Insert a 16 GB flash drive
    2) Go to start screen; type "drive recovery" in search - choose settings tab in search screen
    3) click on "create a recovery drive"
    4) Follow prompts to create recovery media

    You can also clone the entire drive as soon as you get the laptop, so that the image is of the factory state. This is what Asus has recommended to us, in lieu of using the AI Recovery Program (since it does not work under Windows 8 currently).
