If you are going to do this:

	1) Wipe the drive (in linux: dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/sda bs=3D65536)
	2) Partition it as you see fit

You might want to copy at least the beginning of it to a file for possible
later recovery, again using 'dd'

Obviously samsung has set it up to boot to some vendor solution, if that's
not what you want wipe it.
