Hi guys,
I have what should be a fairly simple question. The laptop is as above - I'm on Windows 8.1.
My computing people at school have asked me to reinstall windows 8 on my computer. It looks like the best way to do that is through HP's recovery manager. I have the 1 TB drive split into two partitions - one system partition (the C Drive) and one data partition (D drive). My question is this: Does HP's Recovery Manager software reformat the entire disk, or just the system partition (i.e., C drive)?
If I need to move the data out of the drive in order to complete the reinstallation, I can, but I would greatly prefer not to.
Thanks!
