I think I disabled/deleted my OS partition. (Fixed, Thanks CrazyHorse)
    #26525816 - 03/09/20 05:08 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Iv'e got a laptop with Legit windows 8.

I 'd set it up to be a music production computer, and disabled as many unneeded functions as possible.
Years later I want to reformat and start fresh and have been failing left and right.

I cant manage to sort out doing a recovery, manual reformat, or making use of OS partition.
whatever I disabled made it so recovery .app file is not found/functioning, either to restore to factory without deleting files, OR doing a full delete. 

I can view the list of HD's and partitions, and see that there is a volume labeled as such, but shows 0kb data. :frown:.
I dont recall deleting any partitions, and would have been mindful not to touch OS backpack partition, however no matter what angle I can seem to access it.

Are there any other approaches I can take? Can I make an image of just the OS, reformat and use that?

I can boot it up, and it has most functions operational. just not restore related ones.

Anyone by chance have a bloatware free, rip of windows 8 you could share?

Thanks for any help

It's a Sony Viao

You can download the dvd from Microsoft. Do you have a key?

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO

You can make a usb using Rufus.

Not sure if I have key on hand anymore. Is there a way to get from within OS (not on manual or box).
