How to reformat a 4 partition disk to create 1 partition for storage

[provlima]

I have a hard disk that the Disk Management diagram shows 4 partitions left to right:



110mb Healthy (OEM Partition) / 10GB Healthy Active Primary / OS (F) 136.44GB (Healthy



Primary Partition / 2.50 GB (Healthy Primary Partition)



(see screenshot)






I tried reformatting it but the reformat window would only allow the reformat of the OS partition



How do I reformat this disk to use its total 150 GB of space instead of the 136GB of storage it currently allows?



Thanks for your help

I would suggest you to use Partition Wizard Bootable CD .

For deleting all partitions of disk1 : Help on how to Delete All Partitions with partition manager - Partition Wizard?

For creating a new partition there : Create Partition help of partition software - Partition Wizard.

(all the links contains a video guide , at the bottom of the pages content. )

Alternatively, using disk management :

you can delete all the partitions : http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2668-partition-volume-delete.html

And create a new one : http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2674-partition-volume-create-new.html

You should be able to delete each of those partitions, and then create a new one to cover the entire job. If not, Partition Wizard is free and can handle that for you.

Can you delete those partitions rather than reformat them?
