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.

You're welcome Shawn. Interestingly enough all my ideas and knowledge comes from reading other people's posts right here!
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. :)
Helo to all of you... It's my first time here, and thanks for the stuff ... Learned a lot.
But i have a problem....
My Drive C has originally Windows 7 Home Edition OS, but then i tried installing Win7 Ultimate to my Drive D:... My problem now is, i cant uninstall Win7 Ultimate now on y Drive D..... Pls help me figure it out...
I tried manually deleting the Windows folder and the like, but it cant be deleted....
Thanks
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.
