Please take care to avoid losing any important data and backup your data to prevent any such data loss. Precautions for Operating System Support If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other operating systems(OS) or a previous version of a OS pre- installed on this computer, or a software that does not support the OS, the company will not provide technical support, a replacement or refund, and if our service engineer visits you due to this problem, a service charge will be applied. About the Product Capacity Representation Standard About HDD Capacity Representation The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,0 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. (E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 7.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/ (1,0x1,0x1,0)byte = 7.505GB) In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD. About Memory Capacity Representation The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory.
Page 5 Recovery Solution Representation (Optional) What is a Recovery Area? A. – Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover computers or save backup files. (Only for models with the Samsung Recovery Solution.) This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery image that comprises of the OS and application programs. - Y ou can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution icon on the desktop or press F while booting the computer to enter the Recovery Area. Then you can back up the present computer state or recover the computer from backed up images. - F or deleting the Recovery Area, you need to use an additional Recovery Area Removal Tool. After deleting the recovery area, you can use the newly created partition for other uses, such as for saving personal data. Be careful that once the recovery area is deleted, the Samsung Recovery Solutions will not work anymore.
