| | If Shawn's suggestion does not work, you can try deleting the partition in Diskpart using the delete partition override command instead of just delete partition. |

| | Thank you for reminding me of that command Jonathan. Note added for it in the tutorial.  |

I still don't understand why Windows 7 Disk Management was not letting me manage my own disk. |

| | You're welcome Joe. It's just that Disk Management is a limited on what it can do since it's not a full featured 3rd party disk management program. |

| | Hello Wahbufetz, and welcome to Seven Forums. Windows will not let you delete the partition that you are currently started up in since it is in use. You will need to restart the computer and select to startup into the Windows 7 Home Edition when you see the Windows Boot Manager screen. Afterwards, you should be able to delete the partition that Windows 7 Ultimate is on. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Thanks Brink and Joe Sirs.... Is there any option wherein i will not delete the D: Partition (Ultimate) entirely, but perhaps the windows contents only, leaving my other files on.... Coz i do have important files already on D:... |

| | Wahbufetz, Sorry, but you will need to backup your files either on the C: drive temporarily or somewhere else first, then delete your D: partition. Afterwards, you can copy the files back to D if you like.  |
