Denied Formatting a partition

Now it makes sense.

To install win 10 on disk 0 (E: and G:)
- Shut down and detach (power or SATA cable of) disk 1 (that has now Win 7 and 10) - VERY IMPORTANT
- Boot from the Win 10 installation USB drive, go to install and delete ALL partitions on disk 0 till you have one and only one unallocated space then proceed. If you don't want to use MS account, don't enable updates or connect to the internet during installation.

Once win 10 is installed and working on disk 0, shut down and detach disk 0 (power or SATA cable of) of new win 10 and attach disk 1.
See if you can boot Win 7 on disk 1

Why would i or should I delete both E and G I could see adding allocating space to E, but I have many files that I need in G. Also, i see there was no response to my previous question, below. I still would like to see and get rid of whatever remnants i have of win 10 on disk one, but i need to find it first. Just because i cannot open it, I assume there are many files still there.

I I recall in the good old days, in Dos, when windows got corrupted, we could always see the directory of that version, but I do not know how I can see the directory of the win 10 that i had. If i do reinstall Win 10, I would like to get rid of the old version for needed space. Yes, win 7 and 10 were on Disk 1. My Computer

You can see the win 7 or win 10 directory by running Explorer.

Focus on installing Win 10 on disk 0 and then we will clean the win 10 on disk 1.

I am trying to respond to your latest post and i get this when message after trying to respond. How do i get out of this quagmire?
Why do i get a message that "this message is too short" try adding more than 3 characters, when i try to respond lately?

"this message is too short" appears when you quote a message and type inside the quoted message.
You must type after the [/quote]

I don't recall doing what your saying about including my response in your Quotes. Check my previous posts where i quoted you and did the right way....anyway, I am only going to use the E: drive for Win 10 and increase its space from G:

Would your suggestion take care of all the setting up the dsk? I tried in Dskmanagement to add volume and i was denied. It told me that the partitions maybe corrupt, so do a chkdsk. I did and chkdsk told me access denied as you do BTW, i am including an image i took with diskpart last night.not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.

What do you want to achieve?
I didn't say to use diskpart.
Follow my instructions on post #11 and you will install Win 10 on disk 0

I did it on my own with Diskpart to see if win 10 showed up. I intend to do what u said in part 11. But i was greeted with all of those negative messages i received when i tried to add space. You obviously ignored what i said there. Does this mean by doing Part #11, it would take care of all that negativity?

I have been having a hard time getting my Bios to accept my usb drive. I have every usb button enabled and yet it won't show me a usb port. I saw my thumb drive lit up as it was being set up for a bootable usb, so there is nothing wrong with the drive. Asus is hard to get through on the phone and they are in the Pacific coast and i am East, so the difference in time.
