We bought a new 320 GB internal drive and installed WinXP Pro on it. A
previous user of a 60 GB hard drive seems to have partitioned it into two
partitions of approx. 30 GB each. Drive letters are F and G. We
reformatted Logical drive F: NTFS without a problem. All attempts to
format G: fail. It is not possible to open G:. What we want to do is
reformat the entire 60GB physical drive, as a single partition.
I have lost my notes on the navigation path to get to "Disk Management" but
when I got there, F: was identified as NTFS and "healthy" but G had no File
System type shown, although it was also called "healthy."
Please remind me of how to navigate to the Disk Management utility. Getting
there will not enable me to format G, as my attempts have failed completely,
but I want to know for future maintenance.
Please tell me how I can force the operating system to delete both
partitions and reformat the entire 60GB.
