Ok. I rolled it back with F4. Apparently my win7 install left the Samsung Recovery III function intact.

I’ve had Windows 7 on my NC10 and have successfully “rolled back” to XP, I’ve installed Windows 7 again and I’m sure I will be able to go back to XP using the recovery software (if I really wanted to that is!)
[/quote1258554066]Care to share how you “rolled back” to XP?. I’ve installed windows 7 along with the samsung win 7 drivers, software, and firmware, and find the internet very slow. Both Firefox and IE load slowly and accessing any website takes 3-5 minutes or longer. I’m still trying to work through it, but would like the optioin of going back if I have to. Thanks.
I just hold down the f2 key and then switch on the power button; release f2 as soon as I hear the beep.
I have a partner that helps me with this chore, a little messy but great enthusiasm.

Thanks for all your replies. At this point the screw is pretty much stripped. I did have the right tools as I have easily upgrades memory on previous laptops in the past. The screw would not budge as if it were glued.. I dont think I want to open the entire back compartment to change the memory. My dilema now is do send it in for service, return it or just live with 1gb memory? I just ues the sammy for basic checking email, occasional netflix movie..etc.. Replies welcome
[/quote1233946587]You’re actually right about the glue. A threadlocker is used on these hatch screws to prevent exactly what we are attempting to do. When I removed mine, there were traces of the blue adhesive on the threads. I removed these screws by applying firm (quite a bit) of pressure on a jeweler’s screwdriver and a quick twisting motion. If you’ve butchered the screwheads and still determined to get them out, then a dremel and an easy out bit set would be my suggestion.
Well, I took another look at this and it was simply a matter of following directions; and who does that really? Says right there, check box for WPA. Thanks all. I am WPA now.
Update. But first, to summarize. I had updated to the 03 bios version a few days after I received my NC10 and shortly afterwards I had an intermittent display problem; every few bootups the display came on with a negative color image. I attempted to fix it with the samsung recovery and system software reinstall but only made a mess of it. My IT gal bailed me out with the reloads (lost the recovery partition however). Next, I uninstalled the graphics driver and downloaded the same driver from the Samsung site with no apparent luck.
Now to the update. I sent my NC10 to the Samsung service center in Texas last week and just now received an email stating that parts have been ordered. That seems to confirm the problem was always hardware related and not software or firmware issues. All that mucking around in vain. I also requested the service center set the NC10 back to factory default so I can get the recovery feature back. We shall see.

Thanks William. I’ll try reinstalling the bios and see if that clears it up. If not I’ll reinstall the graphics driver. From my ‘net searches, I found a posting with a similiar problem with a yellow screen. The fix was to remove the driver, reboot and allow windows to search for one. That apparently fixed it. Cheers
Update. I had my IT gal sucessfully re-install XP and most of the samsung software. It’s back to C and D partitions and the only app that did not install is the samsung recovery program. Apparently the samsung recovery area is no longer available after the xp install. It would be nice to get that back but not a priority just yet. The color display problem cleared up……until I got it home. It’s still intermittent with the “yellow” screen at bootup. I wonder if I should attempt to remove the graphics driver and reinstall from the samsung site. The next question may sound stupid but I will ask anyway. If I do remove the driver will there still a display for me to navigate to the samsung site to download the driver. Thanks.
