I want my whole hard-drive back Please

Did you delete the partition?

Though I'd still do the wipe like in post #9 above first before you delete the partition.

It may be because of Grub, did you use that as a boot controller?

Hello Gazz777, welcome to Seven Forums!





I would use the "Wipe" function in Partition Wizard to over-write the data in the partition first as a delete/format does not over-write the data, it just marks it to be over-written as needed, and it would be best to guarantee that none of the Linux files will come back to bite you later, have a look at the snip below.

Do this to that partiton first.

You have use the program at the link below, Windows won't do it.


Partition Wizard Home Edition

Your problem is that you ended up with "Free Space", not "Unallocated Space"- Try again - even if you first have to define a new partition in that free space and then start all over again.
