Windows 10: How to erase at low level Windows Partitions?

Hello everyone,

I have 8 partitions for my hard drive, 3-4 to linux and the rest to partitions of windows + recovery partitions etc. Is there any method to erase all data about the partitions at low level without loosing the information in the linux partitions?

Thanks in advance

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
