The 1str part was your Windows Recovery Environment, you should have left that one alone.
The 2nd part was your EFI System - that should have remained where it was
The 3rd part was your Microsoft System Reserve, you should have left that alone too
---> I can't tell waht it is now, looks like it's not much oaf anything, being unallocated.
---> KYHI is probably the member with the answer on the MSR part, he knows more about this than I do, I have a lot of catching up to do with reagrds to UEFI/GPT
The 4th part was your Windows drive
The 5th part was your OEM recovery - not sure why it's only 450 MB. That size looks more like Windows RE and it's far too small for an OEM recovery (Windows + OEM bloat = Previous OSes were noramlly 12-16 GB on HP machines).
Did the machine come with a separate HP Recovery Drive?
Please post more deatials about the parts
Lauch Command Prompt (Admin)
Diskpart

det par
grab the text (right click the cmd title bar, select edit, pick Select all ... select edit, pick copy)
Post the text in a code box (# on the TF post menu)
exit diskpart
exit the cmd prompt.
Thanks, I'm not sure if I have any recommendations/suggestions other than a wipe and clean install (no one wants to hear that )
