In Windows you can only have FOUR (4) System Partitions

Samsung supply their computers with a Set-up/Restore ‘system’

On first switch on, it Installs Windows from a (built-in and hidden) partition; it usually ‘suggests’ you set-up a second partition for your data so you end up with
1. a 100Mb partition with a mini set-up program
2. a 20Gb (approx) HIDDEN Set-up/Restore Partition
3. the C: drive with Windows installed on it and
4. the D: drive for back-up and Data Files

You would need to split the D drive and make an extended (E:) Partition in it, to free up a system partition

It is MUCH EASIER to try and use the Restore facility – (press F4 right after start up, then select COMPLETE restore)
rather than trying to Re-install Windows from the USB Stick

or

do a Repair Install – using Windows 7 on the USB Stick as shown on this website…
