I am currently working on my nephews laptop and was attempting to put Windows 7 Pro onto it. Because of the BIOS setup i had several issues with the laptop locking up during install. In the course of attempting to work around this i "Cleaned" the original Windows 8 hard drive with the disk part, listdisk utility. Now the laptop nor my desktop see it as an unallocated hard drive. I used the testdisk utility and it sees all the files, but I'm unsure how to get it to recover these files so that I can put it back into this laptop and have it load up once again.
Can someone give me an idea as to how I would restore a clean GPT partition so that the laptop recognizes all the partitions and I can actually properly ghost this drive like I was intending to do.
Any assistance is appreciated!
Thanks!
