101Chapter 4. Backup/RestorationRecovery Solution Representation (Optional)What is a Recovery Area?Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover tcomputers or save backup les.(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.You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution icon ton the desktop or press F4 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 tRecovery 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.The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is dierent from the product specications.The capacity of the storage device (HDD) of the manufacturer is tcalculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes. However, 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 dierence in capacity calculation and does not mean the installed HDD is dierent from the product specications.The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the tactual capacity because some programs occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.For models with Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity trepresentation 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 dierent size of applied programs.Samsung Recovery Solution (Optional)
