How to re - install windows without formatting of other partitions?
Hello world
I had some problems with my windows on my laptop so I decided to re - install the windows. I have the DVD of my system recovery. So I used it to recover my system. Now the problem is, I had divided my hard drive to 5 partitions. 'C' was where windows is installed, "D" is repeated, 'E' is HP-Tools 'G' was my files and 'H' was my other stuff such as games. After that I recovered my system my data all had disappeared, my scores have disappeared. My other two spaces (G & H) disappeared and evrything I had in these 2 areas has been removed.
My Question is: How can I just re - install the windows without erasing my other partitions? I mean how can I re - install the windows which is found only on drive "C"? I didn't format my hard drive that I wanted to just format drvie 'C' and re - install the windows there.
Please help me in this regard.
Hi again Esfandiari,
As you see below, the HP document:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02638587
during the process of recovery you must use minimized Image recovery, as he said "If ago customer-created partitions on the hard drive, the HP Recovery Manager invite you for permission to remove them or leave them intact."
All the best!

How can I install Windows 8 of my 1.5 TB external harddrive without formatting?
Well I finally decided to move to Windows 8 (starting from Windows 7 x 64), but I'm stuck in a weird situation here... I image .iso Windows 8 with me but I will not be burn on a DVD, the only option would be either use a USB key or an external HARD disk... Unfortunately my 16 GB USB DRIVE no longer works (and the .iso image file does not in my other USB drives I had remaining)... So I decided to use my drive external HARD on the contrary - but there's another problem... about 750 GB on my HARD drive is full (there are all my files, movies, music, games, etc) and the rest is 'empty '...
So, how can I install Windows 8 of this external HARD drive without formatting? Since I don't have any other "spare" hard drives or USB keys with a lot more storage capacity... And I can't keep them in my laptop because it has only 500 GB...
Can I partition my external HARD drive and secure all my files in one partition, and format the other partition to use it to install Windows 8 on my laptop somehow...?
You can create a partition on your HARD drive and install Windows inside with Universal USB InstallerHere's how you create a new Partition- Open disk management
- Right click on the partition that you want to split > Shrink > select size > Ok
- Unallocated space will appear
- Right-click on > Format give a letter
OR you can install windows on a different partition from your internal HARD drive
You can create a partition in the internal drive and extract files inside Windows and make it bootable with EasyBCD (3rd party free program to change startup options and other things)- Create a new partition using disk management
- Extract the files to install Windows inside
- Open EasyBCD > add new item > WinPE > search for X:\Sources\boot.wim > add
- Reboot and choose the new element added to the startup in

What is a model supported by your version of Windows? You could just plug it in and see if Windows recognizes

new drivers and control software.Check with the site of the manufacturer of the camera brand and model you should be able to download the necessary software.
I hope this helps.

install windows with the product key
someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.
or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.
I thank you for your time and have a good day.
If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition. If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation. At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.
If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.
