Can't format/delete partition an HDD
My G: and J: drives (a 500GB WD HDD) has developed bad blocks, I wanted to delete the partition and format. But to my surprise Windows is saying, "Windows cannot format system partition on this disk" (J). I have windows installed on C: (win 7 x64 sp1), not J:. I want to replace the damaged HDD soon, and if I replace it I'm afraid Windows won't boot up. Opinions on what I should do and what the problem is?
