I am not sure I understand what you want to do. Let me try to reformulate:

- you have a laptop with Win 8 installed on a GPT disk,
- you want to replace this installation by a Linux installation, but you have to delete the Windows partitions and conver the disk to MBR,
- you are asking if you can later restore the disk to Win8.

The answer is yes, and you have 2 options:
- you can reconvert the disk back to GPT and restore the image as is,
- you can leave the disk as MBR, restore the C:\system partition only and use the Windows 8 installation DVD to rebuild the boot records and configuration.

My problem is that ASUS don't gived me the installation DVD, but there is a hidden partition on hd where are stored win 8 + drivers. When i restore this partition works ?

Thank's
