Arpan The Boy Who Lived Power User Messages 1,184 Location India Oct 22, 2012 #2 Hello rishabhg492 First, if there is any data in the partition you want to install Windows 8, move the data to another partition. Second, boot up from the Windows 8 installation DVD and when it asks you to select a partition, choose the intended partition and that should do it. Hope I could help My Computer System One OS Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Linux Mint 14 System Manufacturer/Model HP Pavillion g4 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20GHz Memory 4 GB Graphics Card(s) 1 GB Radeon Graphics Monitor(s) Displays Generic PnP Monitor Screen Resolution 1366x768 Hard Drives 500 GB HDD
