    If you're certain that you want to remove the partition....

    try this
    diskpart
    select the disk
    select the partition
    delete partition overrideHope that helps.

    OT: spent a few weeks in the hospital, then a few more in rehab. I won't be posting much until I'm more recovered. Focusing and typing are very difficult. I suspect the stroke was bound to happen after the neurosurgeon cut my brain in half 20 years ago to remove a mass. Old age sucks - the alternative is worse though.

    Peace!

    I expect it is a physical ROM module that is permanently installed.

    I think so. Maybe it's a separate storage from the main 32GB system drive because it's being seen as USB 2.0.

    Even the Parted Magic Live USB OS can't get rid of it.

    Anyway, I'll just leave it as it is. It's not affecting Windows performance anyway.
    Thanks all for your help and suggestions. I will mark this thread solved but feel free post more suggestions.
