    Dual boot problem


    Hello people,
    I tried to create a partition for dual booting,
    I created a volume WITHOUT formatting.
    I couldnt install windows 10 on the volume, so I came back to delete the partition. When I came back, it had no letters and when I clicked delete it said " Cant find the file specified".
    Please help!

    Can you post a screenshot from your Computer Management.

    Well, now I am in school and I can only describe it ubtil I get back home.
    It looks normal, but that partition has NO letter or name, it just says 60 GB and healthy

    Either finish the partition ( format it and give it a letter ) or just delete it to un allocated space, you can still install 10 on that.

    Just post the shot of DM when you can, we will go from there.

    Screenshots


    So here is the screenshot how the Disk managment looks:

    Notice how one of the partitions has only 59 GB and says Healty?

    And here is a screenshot when I try to delete and try to rename it or format it:

    Did you try command line with "diskpart"? Common commands are here: DiskPart Command-Line Options

    See if you can format or delete the volume this way.

    I listed the partitions, but it did not list the one with 58 GB, and it is still in the disk management.
