Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)
What is a Recovery Area?
• 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.
) > All Programs > Samsung > Samsung
• Launch Start button (
Recovery Solution or press the F4 key 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.
• For 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.
(Optional)
The capacity representation of the hard disk drive (HDD)
in Windows is different from the product specifications.
• The operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device
capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the
capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the
actual capacity.
This is due to the difference in capacity calculation and does
not mean the installed HDD is different from the product
specifications.
• The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the
actual capacity because some programs occupy a certain area of
the HDD outside of Windows.
• For models with Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity
representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual
capacity because Samsung Recovery Solution uses a hidden area
of about 5~20GB of the HDD to save the recovery image, and
that hidden area is not counted towards the total size available to
Windows.
The size of Samsung Recovery Solution varies by models because
of the different size of applied programs.
