You don't need to delete all the partitions. The 100-200MB System Reserved Partition (SRP) contains the boot data. If you have this, then when you install FD-ISR, it will not work properly as the boot data is on some other partition. You have two choices.

1. If you install Windows from scratch then you need to delete this partition as per Pandlouk instructions and then you will have your boot data automatically on the System Drive.

2. If the Windows is already installed, then you need to check if you have the SRP. If you do, then you need to first move the boot data to System Drive and then delete the data on it. After that you can delete this partition. In this situation, I will post a link how to accomplish this.

I tried it and it works on Win8 too altough i used Easus Partiton Master instead of the Disk Management to delete the 100MB partiton and to resize/expand the Win8 partiton.
