Deleting partitions, Format the whole drive...
Ok, I have my WD 160GB Vraptor partition and dual booting Vista & Win 7 ultimate x64. Disk 0
My 750GB Samsung used to be my old XP + Vista dual booting and it is partitioned as such. Disk 1
I have finished transfering all the pertinent data to my USB WD 320Gb Passport so now I want to format the whole drive and leave it as Back-Up for Data, Videos & Music + the ocassional game that doesn't fit on my Primary drive.
Here's the kicker, I am new to Vista & 7, if I remember correctly, in XP I used to go to Disk managment, select the disk and tell it to format it and it was done (I never did this often so I could be confused).
At any rate, the choices I get with Win 7 are:
- If I right click on Disk 1, my only choices are... Convert to Dynamic Disk or Offline
- Right clicking on either of the other Disk 1 partitions gives me more choices... Format, Shrink or Delete volume
My issue is that I do not want to have 2 more partitions but a full drive. I am sure that one of those options is the one I may need but I just don't know which one to choose and I really hate to work twice (if not more) to get to where I want to go.
any help tips or directions you guy may want to throw my way?
Thanks and May the force be with you
P.S.: I think I am over thiking this and as soon as I delete the volume, the partitions will go away and I am going to end where I want but I just like to be sure.
