Windows 10: Help!! How to wipe a second hard drive with different OS

Hi, I have a question... I have a pc and it has two hard drives, one has Ubuntu on it (the main hard drive with most storage) however it doesn’t boot properly due to kernel panic most times i boot it up. Regardless I unplugged this drive and installed windows 10 onto the other hard drive which was a newly bought SSD. Now I haven’t got much free space on the hard drive which has windows. as the hard drive with Ubuntu is not plugged in I can’t utilise the space on it.

I was wondering how I would go about removing Ubuntu from that hard drive completely so I can then use it as extra space for my windows OS. I’ve never really used Linux.. so struggling to work ou what to do. I’m also not sure if plugging it back in would do any damage to my windows on the other drive?

Any help would be appreciated!

How to wipe a hard drive

Thanks guys

My Special thanks goes out to all those involved with posting a reply on this thread.


I have been helped tremendously by a few who suggested I take out the hard drive and clean it up on another system.


That is something I had not tried yet. I have another system readily available and it makes a lot of sense.


I do have a few questions though: After I take out the hard drive and connect it to a new system,


Will I be able to run something more advanced than the built in OS drive manager to more completely wipe the drive (i.e. kill disk)?


What I am asking is: Can I run "kill disk" on the old hard drive from the other computer instead of the Windows program that does the same thing?


I am going to try to disconnect the hard drive today, but I don't know if running the kill disk program from the other computer would be the most efficient and complete way to clean the drive.


Is that something that I would even want to do, Peet? Would that work? What do you think, cheese?


Does kill disk cost money? Do I get the free download off that site you gave me, 2wicked?
