  1. Install Windows from previously installed Windows


    OK. Where do I start. So I tried to install Linux but, for some reasons (which are not the subject of this question), I couldn't get to do that. Don't ask me how, but I ended up deleting Windows (or Windows Boot Loader, whatever). Then, I installed Windows from my USB stick and here I am, on a brand new Windows. The thing is, expecting all my previous Windows file to still be in my hard drive, I installed Windows on a partition on my second hard drive and all the files of the Windows I had "deleted" are still on my first hard drive.


    My Question : Is there any way I can install Windows by using my old files? Can I install Windows on the same partition as my old Windows without losing all my files? If not, can I create a backup or something?


    Thanks for your help. If you need more information on my system, just ask.

    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
