Cannot create/Format Partition

[haseeb1431]

Hi i had bought new laptop. At that i have two drives and i locked one of them with the bitlocker and later on i just deleted that drive from disk management.

Now i cannot create partition, i have more than 160 GB and system does not allow me to install a fresh copy and neither it allows me create a partition
What should i do?

As it erases everything on the drive, it might ignore the encryption.

Hello haseeb1431, welcome to Seven Forums!



That method doesn't erase the previous data it over-writes the data with zeroes ( 0 ) and it marks the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) as unallocated space and should solve the issue; it's not something to do to a HDD that has data you want to save on it.
