So James, would Narrator assist in creating the partitions?

Hi Orhan.
OK, there are two reasons why Samsung no longer issue recovery cd's.
Firstly, when they issued CD's with their older netbooks like the
NC10, they were OEM preconfigured which basically means that they were
fully activated products with their own license keys. Of course,
copies of these recovery media would start popping up all over the net
on illegal download websites and because these cd's didn't perform
hardware checks or come customised enough to the specific hardware of
the machines they were intended for, all and sundry would download
them for different makes of machine. Therefore, Microsoft asked
Samsung to no longer ship recovery disks with their machines, instead
they created or rather updated their recovery solution software to
burn recovery media. When you get a Samsung machine such as a
netbook, there is no recovery partition on the machine by default.
The recovery partition is made during the initial setup of the
recovery software, its one of the first things that comes up after
you've entered the details to set up windows. A snapshot of the hard
drive would be taken and that is what you would be expected to burn to
a dvd. There is no way to get a copy of XP for these machines which
you can reinstall from a cd directly through Samsung, however there is
a product key label on the back side of the netbook, so if you have
access to an XP home disk, you'd be easily able to reinstall it if
your hard drive were wiped. Samsung do give you a software media disk
to reinstall drivers and utilities, so even if you upgraded to
something like XP profession which I did on my machine, you'd easily
be able to reinstall the drivers and utilities to get your netbook
fully functional.
I hope this explanation answers your questions.

Hi,
Was thinking of going with this netbook, However due to it not having
a recovery CD, I am slightly sceptical.
I know the recovery partition is hidden, however is there any way to
explore the contents of this partition? I was thinking of making my
own custom install CD with the contents of the partition...
It's a real shame that Samsung didn't include a recovery CD because
if the partition is screwed up, your practically done.
