I just bought a new HP notebook (ProBook 450 G0) and it came preinstalled with Suse 11 Enterprise. Now this is the first time I've owned a system with an (U)EFI and I don't know how things work on this, I was used with the legacy BIOS and MBR. I have the following partitions on my HDD right now:
Disk 1 (MBR)+ C: FAT32 200MB Active+ D:HP_RECOVERY NTFS 4GB+ *:HOME EXT3 646GB+ *:ROOT EXT3 38GB+ *: Other 7GB+ E:HP_TOOLS FAT32 2GBMy first instinct was to do a zero format and partition it using Paragon Partition Magic (at least that's what I did on legacy BIOS).
What I want to do is I want to do a full UEFI Windows 8.1 install (my university provided me with a copy) and I don't know how to partition the HDD using GPT and not lose the two HP partitions needed for recovery and systems diagnostics.
Can someone please help me? I want to do this properly. Thanks! :)
