This is method I been using for about 10 years:
1. Get a BlacX:
BlacX - Newegg.com
2. Yank HD from box, connect BlacX to another computer, use Disk Mangler (manager) to format disk.
3. Put back in original box
Also good for stubborn SSDs ..... had two instances where SSDs that wouldn't take an install when formatted in box, that once done via BlacX, worked just fine. I dunno why it works ... it just does :) .
By the way .... anyone have a source or know exactly what's in the July a August Updates for Windows 7 for (KB3172605 and KB3179573)
For June, they listed all the KB's included in the rollup, and was able to verify what each one was before installing the rollup. Now that they have supposedly stopped the Win10 stuff, I can't help but wonder if they gonna try and sneak some telemetering or other nasty in a rollup.
