View 5 Replies View RelatedFormatting My Old XP Drive
Dec 28, 2009I am having a problem formatting a drive. When I first built this computer, I had two 500GB HDD's installed. Originally I installed XP on the machine. Some time ago, I installed Windows 7 on my other drive. I have been using Windows 7 for months now, and I no longer wish to use Windows XP.
I am running out of space on my Windows 7 Drive, I originally only allocated 90GB to it. I want to format my XP drive so I can move things around and get more space, but I cannot reformat, disk management gives me the error, "Windows cannot format the System Partition on this disk."
I REALLY REALLY do not want to have to reinstall windows 7. I basically want to format the XP drive and make that my new media drive, and extending the current Windows 7 drive to include the space that I will gain from moving my media drive.
Formatting A Drive For W7
Jul 17, 2009I'm currently dual-booting Vista and 7, and I want to get rid of Vista, but I'd like a couple people to just confirm for me that I'd be doing it correctly because I don't want to mess up my MBR or anything like that.
I currently have Vista on my C drive and 7 on my F drive. If I go to Computer Management and then Disk Management, this is what I see:
First, because I have a ThinkPad, I have Q and S drives. But I believe they're irrelevant to this question.
My C drive, with Vista, says it's an NTFS drive, "Healthy (Primary Partition)".
My F drive, with 7, says it's an NTFS drive, "Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Logical Drive)".
If I were to just flat-out right click on the C drive with Vista and click format, and then restart, would I be screwed? Or would it load 7 because it would be my only OS? And if this would be a problem, how should I go about removing Vista?
Formatting Drive C On Windows 7?

Formatting Secondary Drive?
May 19, 2011I just placed an old hard drive into my computer to use as a slave. After I booted up on my current hard drive I went into disk manager and tried to format all the partitions. I formated one easily but the other won't seem to format. The option to format or delete volume are both greyed out.I then tried to boot from my Windows 7 disk to format the drive that way but it said it could not format dymanic drives. I can't change the drive to basic without deleting the last simple volume.

USB Flash Drive Formatting Permanent Error?
Oct 10, 2010I was doing some programming for school and then the IDE stopped working and so did Windows, itself, but I had to get somewhere, so i forced myself to pull my 1 GB usb drive out without safely removing it. Still it was acting weird, so I just shut it down. Now I put the usb back in, and apparently I have to format it. I don't want to because I didn't back up recent work but eventually I had to choose to format it.
Initially when I went to format it, the format size was still at "0.98 GB" but now, it changed to "8 MB"
even if I try to format it at 8 MB.
Quick format provides a "Windows was unable to complete the format".
Normal format provides a similar error.
Diskmgmt formatting provides a similar error.
I never had a problem like this before (even when pulling out drives at time when it failed to respond) but I would still like to utilize the usb. Is there a way that i can retrieve the 1 GB back?
