Hi Terry. When you say factory partition, do you mean the partition that is created by Samsung Recovery Solution? If you did, then I got rid of that pap off my machine so can't create recovery media. If there is another partition that is on the hard drive before it leaves the factory, I'd love to know how to get to it as I can't find anything like that on my machine. As with the sound, you'll find I think that the speakers are arranged diagonally, one at the bottom left and one on the top right of the base of this machine. It is supposed to emulate a surround sound affect but like you, I observe that the majority of the sound comes from the bottom left. If the balance is set to 100% however which is all sound to the right speaker, it sounds tinny and ineffective. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: terry cooper To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, June 14, 2009 1:15 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: N120 disks Hi \the N120 didn't come with a recovcery disk, just the usual factory restore option on a partitioned part of the drive. \that said, it is fine with me. \the netbook is fantastic, brillient sound on it, and jaws sounds like its running through an expensive sound system. \the only thiing I don't like about the sound, is that the sub woofer is on the left hand side, so the sound is not ballenced in the middle, but coming from the left side in the main. Haven't tried ajusting the ballence yet to resove this, but will look at it soon. \woudl definately recommend the N120. \terry ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry G To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 2:43 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: N120 disks Well - I was just about to by the N120 but I'll now wait to see if Terry's problem is resolved as I'm a JFW user too...

Thanks for getting back to me and confirming the number of disks in your N120 package. Make sure you don't make the same mistake I did and as soon as possible create a recovery snapshot of your netbook using the Samsung Recovery Solution software. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to reinstall the operating system as the disk you've got like mine only contains drivers and utilities that come preloaded with windows. All the best and I hope you like the netbook. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4152 (20090612) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
