James, I rather hoped they might be on one of the CDs. I haven't looked
either. They don't make much sense on first glance to be honest.

Jackie,
About drivers on the NC10, if you did remove the recovery sollution,
drivers can be retreived using something like Driver Max or Driver
Magician, and also I haven't checked, but I think they will also be on
one of those CD's that came with the device.

Hi Ibrahim
Once my machine was initially set up, this Samsung WinScheduler Recovery
notification popped up every time I loaded the device. I mulled for a
few days over it, and what to do, but decided to ask a colleague to do
the backup just for a bit of peace and quiet. He told me that it
rebooted in Safe Mode, then asked for agreement to the licence. Upon
checking that, it proceeded to make a backup which took about 20 minutes
to half an hour. After that, it wanted to reboot, and then loaded
Windows normally. This is why sighted assistance might be needed, as it
does ask a couple of things or wants a prompt in the dark to reboot.
On D drive of the NC10, I now have the Samsung Recovery 3 thing sitting
there. There is now no longer any reminder of it in the System Tray,
and I've never been asked to do anything else since. I have no idea
what its purpose is, but until I really need the space, I'll leave it
parked there. My caution for getting rid altogether has always been
that it may have backup drivers pertaining to the sound and graphics for
the machine which I wouldn't like to discard unwittingly.
I've now taken out McAfee, and instead installed AVG 8.0 Free. It's
probably not the best antivirus software out there for sure, but I'm
kind of used to it, and found McAfee completely inaccessible with JAWS,
even fiddling about with routing the cursors.
And, as I posted a few days ago, I've also taken off the WinCom
Bluetooth software which now allows me to send files to my phone if I
want to, and didn't when it was loaded.
All seems to be well and running, so I'm leaving it alone.

Hi Jackie.
Well, apparently, according to the Samsung recovery solution help
system, I was offered an opportunity to enable it as it does what's
called a system initial state backup. After registering windows, it
asks you to reboot and then goes in to its interface to allow you to set
partition sizes. I think I'll probably have to format the machine
completely, wiping the hard drive and install windows XP afresh. The
point is I only have access to half the available space on my hard drive
on each partition, and a good 15 to 20 gigs is reserved for this bloody
recovery solution which could be used for other things, besides which I
have my own recovery software and backup to an external hard drive which
is far saver.
All the best, Ibrahim
