Cannot find partitions - help please
Hi,
Ok so I am trying to install windows 7 64bit over the existing Windows 7 Home premium 64bit. I click on the clean install and when it comes to selecting the partition to install windows on there is nothing there and I get this message:
"To Install the device driver needed to access your hard drive insert the installation media containing the driver files , and then click OK "
I have tried going to HP's site to see if I can find some driver that would be what I am missing and I cannot find anything that seems right. I also do not have a recovery drive which is totally my stupidity and I deleted it when trying to create a partition to run Linux along side which never worked.
Basically I just want to do a clean install of 7 and start over from scratch... Maybe I dont need too, I dont know but either way why wont my partitions show? Would creating a back up drive off another 64bit system work to at least bring it back to somewhat factory?
Thanks in advance!
