Windows 10: Unable to allocate partition in windows 10

I installed Linux mint with windows 10 in my laptop. Then because of some issues I decided to remove it.
I deleted the grub loader using command prompt and then when I am trying to delete the partition I allocated to Linux mint, I'm not able to do that somehow.


This is my disk partitions, where in disk 1 as you can see there is unallocated partition.




when I try to allocate or delete this happens.















I don't know what to do now. let me know if you need any more details.

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

 

windows 7 (one partition dissapeared)

It sometimes happens. On my supervisor computer, a partition was made when he was using Windows XP with a third party software. With each fresh install, I have to assign a letter manually to that partition, else it don't show up in explorer even for Windows 7 RTM fresh install. I have seen it, that's why I have suggested the procedure.

 

Disk Allocation


Hi everyone,
It's Kousik here. I have installed xubuntu along with windows 10. To do that i had to re partition my hard disk which is of 1 tb. While doing this i can't allocate 250gb as primary partition.
The message below is showing
" You cannot allocate a primay partition because the disk already contains maximum number of partitions". Suggest me a way how to allocate that much amount of space in this situation Thank You
