Samsung Recovery

What is a Recovery Area?

The computer has an additional partition for restoring data or saving backup files (only for models with the Samsung Recovery application). This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery image comprised of the operating system and applications.

Why is the capacity representation of the hard disk drive (HDD) in Windows different from the product specifications?

The capacity of the storage device (HDD or SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity. The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because some applications occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.

For models with the Samsung Recovery application, the HDD capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because the Samsung Recovery application uses a hidden area of 5–20 GB 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 the Samsung Recovery application varies by model.

What is a recovery image?

This refers to the operating system, drivers, and software that are converted to a data image. It is required to recover the computer and is embedded in the computer’s HDD. However, this is not provided for storage devices where the capacity is less than 64 GB.

How can I restore a computer that does not have the Samsung Recovery application?

Restore the computer with the recovery function provided by Windows. Refer to the Recover Functionality item in the help for more details.

Miscellaneous

The camera and the microphone are not working. How do I turn them on again?

When recording protect mode is activated, the camera and microphone will not work.

Select the Start button → Samsung Security → Block Recording and tap the switch to turn the features off.

The computer does not turn on automatically when the display panel is opened.

To turn on the computer, the display panel should be opened greater than a certain angle.

The angle may differ depending on the model.

If the computer LED does not turn on automatically, press the Power button.
