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.
Performance Restrictions
zOnline games and some games(3D,2D) may not be supported and Full HD video and some high bit rate HD video playback may be slow and stutter on this computer.
xThere is one memory slot provided on this computer. It supports 2GB memory max. To upgrade to 2GB memory, replace the current memory with a 2GB memory module.
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=1,024 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 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)
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.
This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for further use.
(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022MB or less)
Recovery Solution Representation (Optional)
Q.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.
-You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution icon on 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 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.
Q.The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD) in Windows is different from the product specifications.
A.- The capacity of the storage device (HDD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 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.

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss (Hard Disk Management)
Take care not to damage the data on a hard disk drive.
■A hard disk drive is so sensitive to external impact that an external impact may cause loss of data on the surface of the disk.
■Take extra care, because moving the computer or an impact on the computer when it is turned on may damage the data of the hard disk drive.
■The company is not liable for any loss of any data caused by a customer’s careless usage or bad environmental conditions.
Causes that may damage the data of a hard disk drive and the hard disk drive itself.
■The data may be lost when an external impact is applied to the disk while disassembling or assembling the computer.
■The data may be lost when the computer is turned off or reset by a power failure while the hard disk drive is operating.
■The data may be lost and irrecoverable due to a computer virus infection.
■The data may be lost if the power is turned off while running a program.
■Moving or causing an impact to the computer while the hard disk drive is operating, may cause files to be corrupted or bad sectors on the hard disk.
To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive, please backup your data frequently.
