    I wiped my computer due to a Bitlocker encryption problem. However, now, my hard drive only has 28 GB of storage. I am thinking of trying to remove this and then see if I can create a larger partition.


    I'm not sure what's going on. I have checked Disk Management and the hard drive only shows a total of 28 GB available. It is a 500+ GB SSD.

    :)

    On the contrary, showing off "slow tech" by adding a window to a hard drive is a "dumb" idea. Do you really want to be showing off a whole "7200-10000 RPM of power" or would you rather show off a plain SSD drive? (If you really desire to "show off")

    Adding any window to any drive is just stupid. I just suggested an easier option for you since manufactures don't put windows on the latest hard drives.

    How to wipe a hard drive

    Sounds good, but I can't load any cds upon boot or even in windows.

    I tried to run Win XP pro cd my friend made for me. It wouldn't work becuase The software is so corrupted. The hard drive itself is fine I just need a way to completely wipe the hard drive of everything.

    I don't want to just reinstall over the corrupt mess of windows. I want to start over not reinstall brand new OS and have corrupted programs, settings, or info
