Windows 10: Deleted partition on HDD while trying to adjust the partition size, the hdd now shows as...

Some Info - I have two HDDs, both of them had unallocated space The issue is with HDD1I tried to expand the volume of a local disc in HDD1 using windows partition manager, in the options I selected all and it assigned the unallocated space of both HDDs to the specified volume, in turn converting it to a dynamic disc Upon realizing this, I deleted the partition from HDD2 assuming that it will just delete the space on HDD2 leaving HDD1 intact but it deleted the entire partition from the HDD1 and it shows up as unallocated spaceWhat I have done - I have tried two data recovery s

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

Unresponsive HDD Partition.

I somehow managed to format the partition & its now unallocated space. Now, I cant create a new partition neither I can allocated that free space to other Partition. Can you suggest a way to repair that space in HDD?

-Thanks

 

Trying to delete a system partition on an HDD after reinstalling Windows 10 on an SSD

I can't delete this wretched OEM system partition on my HDD which originally had Windows 8.1 preinstalled on it. After upgrading to Windows 10 I've since bought an SSD and installed Windows 10 onto it seperately and was using dual boot for a while so I could
choose between my HDD OS and my SSD OS. I then transfered everything I needed from my original 1TB HDD to my 1TB SSD and my new 4TB HDD and I've deleted all but one partition from the original HDD, which I still want to use and simply wipe clean before I do.
It's an OEM system partition though and won't delete using an administrator command prompt and diskpart, even with the override command:

I used bcdboot to move the boot manager to my E: drive which was successful but I still can't delete this partition. By the way, my new setup is intended to be:

disk 0 (1TB SSD) E: - OS (Windows 10) and games

disk 1 (1TB HDD) F: - Programs (or "Apps") which is the one I'm trying to wipe clean (formerly C

disk 2 (4TB HDD) G: - Media (documents, downloads, music, pictures and videos)

Thanks.
