Cant install windows and Partition problems!?
I had alot of viruses on my computer so i decided to do a factory reset.I used the recover disks that i made with a HP helper a while back but when i tried using them it didnt work and it failed.After that every time i would restart it would say recovery failed and just restart again.So after that i decided why not use a a windows 7 DVD to formate my main 500gb partition and install windows again.When i booted off the disc i noticed there was another partition a 70gb partition which i really think it was made by the recovery discs.Since the recovery discs failed i deleted that partition (not sure if i should have done that).So now i have 70gb of free space.Any way selected my main 500gb partition and formatted it and pressed install but for some reason it doesn't expand the windows files after 30min of 0% i cancel and restart my computer and instead of going to HP recovery it gives me a boot mangr error (saying theres no boot manager).So now im stuck i really shot my self in the foot.Im on a Linux live usb now and i enjoy Linux but im really missing Windows right now.
Heres the image of the partitions.
