I was instaling win8 in a laptop that had previoslly win 8. It is a 64bits.
I have 1 hdd with 2 partitions, the C that has the os and the G that I use for backup.
During istalation I selected the drive C to install win8 and formated.
But I didnt show the option next was greyed out. And and message shows that I windows cannot be instaled...something about the partition was in -GPT.
After some search i realized that i need to convert the hdd to MRB so I can install win8 ,using Diskpart, but with this option I´ll lose all my data in the G partition.
How can I backup my G partition and then use diskpart to clean the hdd...
Thanks to all that spare some time helping me ..

Should I use something like Clonezilla Live ?
