Guys a little help..
I just bought a new laptop HP Probook 4530 ...It has windows 7 home premium preinstalled 64 bit os..But a problem is der are three partitions
1- C: (275gb)-primary partition
2- DHp recovery-16gb)-primary partition
3- EHp tools-5gb)-primary parition
4-System drive-300mb-primary partition
Now i need the c drive to have only 60 gb and want to split it up into another drive with 200gb or so..but since it already has 4 primary partitions , the next drive becomes a dynamic drive..i want it as a primary parition incase i wanna install xp..
So i am planning to reformat all with the original key of windows os given at the back side of laptop and i dont want any hp recovery parititions..Is the reovery paritition really necessary ?..and also the hp tools?..can i install all the required drivers from the hp site?...
and also is the key given at the backside is only for 64bit os of windows 7 home premium or i can change it to 32bit os,?..
also i dont have any required disk of windows 7 cd to install , can i download it from net and install with the original key given?..
Please someone help me
I wanna make a fresh install with
c drive only 60 gb and remaining other drive
Waiting for reply
