I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 320 in which I initiated the format from Boot process but when I format the c drive it showed that the windows cannot install on this drive. After that I removed all the extra partition which were showing such as system reserved etc. Excluding the other primary partitions I have. But still it is showing that windows cannot install on this drive..

Please help.. I don't want to delete all those partitions bcoz I don't have any backup of it and it nearly of 700gb storage.
