I purchased the above laptop with win8 and touchscreen today. When I checked disk management I found that it already have 4 primary partitions; 1)500 mb recovery, 2) 500 mb for EFI 3) 687gb for running win8 and 4) 11.5gb for recovery partition. Though I can install debian in virtual machine, is there any possiblity of dual booting keeping recovery partitions as I do not want to forego warrenty. Any one has installed dual booting in such a system?
