    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

    HDD partitions format

    I have two Windows RE tools partitions. Do I need both?

    Looking for a partitioning tool with requirements

    I'm looking for a disk partitioning tool that meets the following requirements

    1. Can run on a wroking Windows 10, or form a bootable flash drive
    2. Can create or remove ALL partitioning types, including specifying the GUIDs on GPT disks
    3. Either the Windows or bootable version can scan a disk and save all partition information, including types and GUIDs, to a named file.
    4. Either the Windows or bootable version can take the saved file from the previous step and either restore that saved configuration or use it as a starting point so you can change partition sizes if the new disk is a different size..

      Is there software on the market that can do all this?

      Thanks,
      ++PLS
