    Unable to remove dead copy of windows


    I got my computer all rebuilt today, including a new SSD. The new SSD is the boot disk and I was able to install windows on it with no trouble. Now I would like to format the previous drive, which is still attached to the system and which I would like to use as storage. However, Windows will not permit me either to delete the copy of windows on that drive, or to format the drive entirely. I'm getting a boot menu each time I start up to ask me to choose which one I want to use, which is fine, but all that space is now not available to me.Using other threads from this site, I used Diskpart from

    Unable to remove dead copy of windows

    n900 dead dead dead!

    Follow those instructions in the link I posted..



    And for downloading the right version of flasher.. there's only ONE version for windows on that page.. It's in the middle of the list near enough.



    On the link I posted earlier, you'll find 13 steps to go through.. it has screen shots too.. it's seriously not that complex so don't panic..



    The list of steps start:

    • Turn off your N900
    • Remove the battery
    • Insert the battery.. but leave it off
    If you get stuck at a step, let me know and I'll help out
