Windows 7 - Can't delete partitions on 2TB HDD

| | Can't delete partitions on 2TB HDD I'm running Win 7 Ultimate x64. I have a 2TB drive installed which I originally partitioned in half. It does not have any data on it. I'm trying to get it to be one drive again but it doesn't seem to want to be. Any ideas? It's Disk 4 I'm trying to get back to one disk. Thanks |

| | It was originally in half. I originally split it up to do a recovery and I used Ubuntu to split it into 2 ntfs partitions. I then tried to delete the volumes and this is what I ended up with. I was using the windows disk manager. |

| | You could easily do this in diskpart from an elevated cmd prompt..... diskpart list disk sel disk <#> (where "<#>" is the # of the disk to be modified, found via the output of the "list disk" command) clean convert basic detail disk This would "clean" the partition information from the disk, convert the disk back to basic, and then output detailed information about that disk afterwards. |
