Partition Only Restore
If your preinstalled software on drive C: of your multiple partitioned drive becomes unusable and you cannot boot from the hard disk, use the Product Recovery utility to restore your primary partition to its initial shipping configuration.
Use the Partition Only restore option only if your hard disk drive consists of multiple partitions and if drive C: contains the operating system and related drivers. Move all other data and applications to other partitions (drives) or the Partition Only restore process will erase them completely.
