Years ago, I had formated the hardd drive and installed Linux. Now I would like to reinstall Windows 7 to after  install Linux on a hard drive partition. I have five Windows-7 disks for system recovery. Is this possible to do?. What steps should I follow?
Best regards

Hi,


Follow this:

Recovery will format and reset drive to factory settings, you cannot manual set up partition for another OS during HP recovery.
