Why can't I format this partition???
OK, I recently emptied my D:Drive but noticed that there is still used space of 4GB on that drive. So I tried to format it but got an error saying 'This drive is in use. Another program or process is using this drive. Do you want to format it anyway?'
I clicked Yes and then I got error saying 'Windows cannot format this drive. Quit any disk utilities or other programs that are using this drive, and make sure that no window is displaying the contents of the drive. Then try formatting again.'
I clicked OK, followed the instructions, tried formatting again and got the same error again. I've tried restarting my PC and also disconnecting/reconnecting my HDD. I also don't have a boot disc (or anything similar) so I can't format from BIOS (or whatever)
Btw, I have Win7x64 installed on C:Drive and have 4 partitions left (D:, E:, F:, G:).
So my questions are:-
1. What exactly is using up 4GB of my hard disk space?
2. Is the missing 4GB the reason I can't format that partition?
3. Why is my pinky finger longer than my thumb?
P.S.: I've attached a Snip of my Disk Manager.
