Install Windows 7 from partition tutorial (bootable recovery partition)

Install Windows 7 from a partition (hard drive):
(make your own recovery partition)

Intro:I use this to istall windows 7 from a separte partition (no need for Windows dvd) when you start windows you will get an option to install windows and use it whenever needed this is my way of doing it I have tried it and it works.

Step 1: Go to start and search for computer management and hit enter.Once the program comes up on the left side look for Disk management under storage click on it

Step2: Righ click on C: drive go to Shrink volume and Decide the size I used 5gigs

Step3:Copy Windows files from Cd or Iso to your new partition

Step4:Download Easybcd and install (http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1)

Step5:Open Easybcd And choose add entry then goto to the bottom tab named WinPe

Step6:On the type tab choose Wim image(ramdisk)

Step7:Name your partition

Step8:On the path section locate boot.wim file of your windows files its located
under sources folder example(Drive letter you gave your new patition:\sources\boot.wim )

Step9:Leave ems enabled and Force portable entry unabled and hit Add Entry and your done.

Extra Steps:

Step10:Go to start right click computer and go to properties. On the left side click on Advanced system and settings go to the advance tab ,Startup and recovery settings,here you can change settings of your system startup . Leave default operating system to windows 7 check time to display list of operating system: and choose how many seconds you want it to take for windows to choose the default operating system on the startup I choosed 2 seconds leave everything else untouched and hit ok.

Now when you start your computer you should have to options to boot from
your regular windows 7 startup or the intallation partition you just made.

When you choose to intall windows again you will just have to choose that partition and windows will install way faster withought the need of cds just make sure you dont delete the partition you created.

you want for it to show up so that when ever you need to reinstall windows you just select the second option you can make it so that it does it faster its the tutorial also I left mines at 2 seconds but if you put it on 1 second you wont see it unless you are pressing the up or down arrow when you pc is booting.

Easiest way to do it, I think. Drag the files to new partition , genius!!
