I have an Asus G46VW I want to remove everything and reinstall my windows 8 because it is runing very slow.
I tried to use the feature from PC Settings however it didn't let me cause I need Recovery media. I have no recovery media.
In Computer Managment I have this partitions.. What can I do with them? How can I use them? If those partitions don't help. How can I reinstall windows 8 without losing my files on Drve: D and Drive: U? Thanks for the help.
PS: Remember G46 doesn't have a optical drive. I need to boot it from USB

I want to use Acronis Backup, however I dont know how to use it. I've been watching videos of how to use it but I dont know what partition do i need to back up. does anyone know?.
You would create a disk image. Don't try to back up partitions back up the complete disk.
Why did Asus create all those partitions and not only one like the others?
Asus did not create all these partitions. Your system is UEFI GPT and most of the partition are needed. Asus has or had a recovery partition in addition to the 3 needed
I can not Refresh my computer cause it says some files are missing or something.
I assume you upgraded to Win 8.1 and again with update this makes your recovery partition useless. Also probably the reason you couldn't get backtracker to copy your recovery partition to your USB?
I can't download a ISO from Microsoft because it says that my Key is not valid (it is OEM)

What with backtracker, that will only out put to a USB Drive 16 GB minimum. Perhaps your recovery partition has been damaged?
