Hi
Some of you will remember my posting about getting a new pc that came with a drive. There was no OS with the pc. The drive is empty. The drive is the quandary of this post. It is a 1TB drive, already formatted with a 351mb unallocated partition, probably for the boot section.
I don't want to use the drive for windows itself, as I have a drive for that. I want to use the drive for storing info, video, music etc, but I would have to get rid of the 350 mb section at the start of the drive first and format it as one partition, before repartitioning to suit my needs.
I followed an article by HTG using Diskpart on this, but on finishing I got this this response:
"Virtual Disk Service Error. Clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot, system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume".
Does anyone know how else to get rid of this partition. Delete obviously is missing in disk management. Or is it a case of contacting the suppliers of the pc to find out?
Thanks for reading and in advance for any help offered.
