Almost there, since there were a couple of extra steps when I went through it I want to make sure this looks good before proceeding in case its irreversible. In particular the "partition 1-4"

 

Here is the summary Pics of what it want to execute.  If this looks good then I'll proceed

SO close.  after proceeding it said it successfully completed the operation. After restart this is what I got. IMG_1130.jpg

 

 

It then went into "Preparing Automatic Repair" but it just sits there going on about 10 minutes

Inaccessible Boot  Device

no problem

Give me 10 minutes I prepare the steps.

What we need now is the Windows Installation USB Stick

Boot from it and at the first Setup page Country + Language  press SHIFT + F10

Will be back soon

Here we go

In the command prompt type:

 

diskpart
sel disk 0
list par
sel par 1
format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter="B"
list vol
exit

In list vol you should find the drive letter for Windows. check if it is C! If not C replace the letter in the last command

bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-US /s B: /f UEFI

exit

Close the Installation window

shut down

remove the USB

Reboot

do not add or leave out any spaces in the bcdboot command

HP Recommended

I think I screwed this up.

 

I did the first set of commands and then got interrupted with a call. When I came back I entered "bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-US /s B: /f UEFI" (i Believe I did not need to do this step) when I later tried reboot it says Boot Device not found....AHGGGGGG

HP Recommended

You need all the steps !!!

So the same again

after each input the system responds 

So make a photo when the last command (bcdb...) is completed

HP Recommended

Can only get this far

HP Recommended

Follow my steps!

sel par 1
format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter="B"
list vol
exit

 

you did not type sel par 1 !!!

Why does it take so long to type in 5 commands?

Edit: OK Tomorrow
