Oh right thanks for that. I will give it some thought then. I do not order on-line as I am not good at that type of thing. Would I get that CD drive that you recommend at Maplin or PC World?
I do not mind the notice bothering me if I can get someone to assist me in the next week.

Hi.As far as I know, there is no time frame, it'll just keep bothering you until you deal with it. Mind you, having said that, there's no way of closing the window because each time you try, it just comes up again. If you've a drive that old, I'd be wise to check compatibility and see if it works. The likelihood is that the drive is a much slower model than those currently on the market, will probably require a mains lead to operate and will only operate at something like 8 speed. Also, it might not be bootable which will be a serious problem if you have to use the Samsung recovery disks.----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 3:50 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: NC10 Backing-UpIbrahim many thanks for all the information below. I have a Philips DVD writer which is old in years about 6 years. I have not really used it but I guess it would do the job. If I get sighted assistance then I could go for the other option even if it meant loosing all that hard drive space. Do I have to do that within a time frame? If not them I can get sighted assistance.Eleanor -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: NC10 Backing-Up From: "Ibrahim Gucukoglu" <ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx> Date: 10:01:2009 3:09 am Hi.If you don't have an external cd drive with which to use the recovery disks, then I strongly suggest you backup. On the other hand, if you have one and a helper such as a friend, support worker or the like and an external cd drive, Samsung provide recovery cd media to restore the machine to its boxed setup. If you don't have an external cd drive and you don't make a backup, you will have no easy way of recovering your machine in the event of a software failure as you can't to my knowledge back up to an external hard drive. I don't want to recommend one particular course of action in this case as it could be catastrophic for you. I prefer to give you all the options. Incidentally, if you are looking for a cd drive as an accessory for this laptop which I strongly recommend, the Lite-on slim cd dvd rewritable drive model number ESAU208 comes highly recommended by me. Not only is it a high speed USB powered 24 speed cd drive, it can also write cds and read and write dvd med ia as well. It also features LiteScribe technology to allow you to burn your own labels directly to compatible media. If your interested or would like more info, play.com do this drive for £49.99. Just do a search for the above model number and choose your colour either from glossy white or burgundy red depending on your style. It even comes with a stand so you can stand the drive up on its side to reduce desk space and an AC adaptor so you don't have to draw all drive power from the laptop if your near a plug socket.All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor BurkeTo: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 2:58 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: NC10 Backing-UpThank you for replying to me. I knew you had said something about this but I was away from home at the time. could I choose just not to back up at all or could I choose to back up to an external USB drive?Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: Ibrahim GucukogluTo: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2009 2:49 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: NC10 Backing-Up Hi Eleanor.I suggest you get sighted assistance here as screen readers and magnifying software will not be able to access the Samsung recovery solution backup wizard. As per one of my previous messages recently posted about this issue, you will need to decide once and for all whether you want Samsung recovery to back up your drive or not. If you do, your hard drive will be partitioned in to two equally sized chunks, roughly 70GB each and approximately 20GB will be unavailable to you as this is a system backup area used by the recovery software. Please note however that if you choose not to use the backup software by clicking on advanced and sliding the slider bar over to 0, you will be unable to restore your original system to its factory settings or the last backup state and will have to rely on the disks that came in the box to restore to the original boxed setup that came on the machine. Of course, for this you will need access to an external cd drive at the very least.All the best, Ibrahim Gucukoglu----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor BurkeTo: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 8:57 PM Subject: [access-uk] NC10 Backing-Up Hi EveryoneI am now haunted by this backing-up request on the Samsung NC10 which from previous discussions on this list, I think I must do. Can anyone tell me what I should do and will I be able to use my Supernova speech and magnification to assist me with this process or is it all going to go silent on me?I am having another problem also. It is with the Bluetooth device. It sees my N95 and my N95 sees NC10 but pairing fails. What shuld I do?Thanks in advance.
