Is this also applicable to a dual boot?
Hello Lister,
I'm not sure what you mean. The "clean" or "clean all" command will delete all partitions on the hard drive that you run it on. :)
Hello Magnificent 7,
I was a little too fast with executing the 'clean all' command in DISKPART.
The data being erased is not a problem but the time that it takes ...
Therefore, is it possible to gently stop this process? Is it safe to do so?
Thanks!
Hello Koala, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Unfortunately, no. Once started, you need to let it finish. If not, then you may be unable to use the HDD until you run the command on it again.
Hello MJF,
It's not going to hurt the HDD, but if it isn't allowed to finish, then you most likely will not be able to use the HDD until either running the commmand again or format the HDD to create a partition/volume on the HDD.
Think of it as about the same as interrupting the formatting of a HDD.
Thank you Brink!
I eventually did a ctrl+c, with no hurt.
After that I formatted the HDD and everything went fine.
