Hi James.
If you install the standard or typical install, you'll be installing mcafee,
all the Samsung utilities and screen saver, themes and user manual. I would
have advised a custom or minimal install, as you'll firstly be installing a
lot of stuff you won't need like the user manual which is inaccessible, but
you'll also put on the recovery solution software and be prompted to make a
backup of your system next time you reboot.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Samsung NC10 Recovery
Hi all,
Just thought I'd let you know about my experience I've just had with the
Samsung NC10 recovery CD. Yep, not the recovery partition on the actual
hard drive, as I wiped that out ages ago.
OK, so first, I booted the NC10 to the desktop, however the option to boot
from CD is also available.
I placed the CD in an external CD drive and let it go.
Next, I followed the on screen instructions, telling it that I did want to
customise options. It restarted the machine, and started the usual Windows
install process.
It prompted me to choose a partition. I had sited help, and was
instructed, upon me telling the person I wanted partition1, to press down
arrow once, followed by the enter key.
I was prompted by a message stating that a current Windows instalation
already resided on the partition I had selected, at which point I pressed
the letter "L" to continue.
Windows then formatted the partition and rebooted.
It then copied files and such, and I was prompted with screens asking for
my name, the date and time, and allowing me to set regional and language
options. I did this, and it did its thing for a few more minutes.
It then rebooted, and I made the mistake of booting from CD, it showed me
the partition selection screen again, however I just pressed F3 twice to
exit setup, at which point it took me back to the final steps of the
install, where I had got to before the reboot.
The instalation and setup finalised, and I was presented with the desktop.
No sound, no software, no Bluetooth, etc, but it was Windows.
At this point, I put in the second CD. It told me to click either
'Standard Instalation' or 'Minimum Instalation'. I chose standard, and it
is now installing drivers as we speak. I'm hearing sounds, hardware
connected beeps and all that so something tells me its all working how it
should, apart from it complaining that I don't have a recovery partition
on my drive.
OK, so overall, not a task I would recommend without sited help, however I
suppose it could be done.
Oh and all this has taken about an hour and a half.
