Disk at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi

payamazimi · 30 Apr 2012

Hello
I wanted to change partitions and make new partitions and then instal OS , but I saw a unpartitioned space (8189MB) and I couldn't delete it
my HDD is maxtor 500 SATA

I saw two sentences in setup

476938 MB Disk at Id 0 on bus 0 on iastor
unpartitioned space 476938 Mb

8190 MB Disk at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi
unpartitioned space 8189 Mb

What is your solution for my problem?
How can I delete it and merge it to the other partition?

my motherboard is P5Q (asus)

Sounds like you need a partitioning tool.
EaseUS Free Partition Manager features. Hard disk partition management for Windows PC and Server: create, delete, format, resize/move, convert, split and merge hard disk partition/volume, etc.

Post a screenshot of a full screen Disk Management window please.

To open Disk Management, press Windows key+r, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter or click GO. Make it full screen.

payamazimi,

is your objective to remove all partitions from the disk and then install Win 7?

Hi
I solved my problem with load setup defaults in BIOS setup
