Trying to delete a primary partition in diskmanagement - Access Denied
I have confirmed that I have admin privileges. The HDD in question is a small 80gb HDD with a 75 gb primary partition. When trying to delete the partition with diskmanagement or diskpart, it just says Access Denied. Currently I can not provide a screenshot, not for the next couples of hours. This disk is not a primary drive, its never used. The partition is formatted in NTFS, and it has a small OEM partition of a few hundred MBs. I want to clear the disk of any data so I can use it for a linux install. This is also my first post, I intend to make my home here when asking the community windows related questions/problems. If this was not formatted well please let me know.
