    Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?

    for Recovery Partition:
    Tap the F4 Key at the Samsung logo when you first power on the computer.

    No? I don't quite understand what you mean, does a OEM HDD come with a recovery partition? No samsung logo has ever come up. Does a HDD restore it's recovery partition when it's formatted?

    Bare OEM HDDs from a dealer such as Newegg don't have recovery partitions.

    PC assemblers such as Dell place recovery partitions on these bare OEM drives that are then included in purchased full systems.
