Windows 10: Way to delete multiple partitions off a drive at once?

Hi I have a microSD card with tons of partitions and I want to delete them all and reformat the whole drive. Is there an easier way to delete all of them at once instead of individually deleting them one at a time? I am using disk manager to delete them right now

Partition or multiple hard drives?

As the title suggests. Is it worth installing say a 36GB drive for the OS soley or partitioning an existing larger drive with either 2 or more partitions? I am currently running Vista 32bit and want to try out 64bit and am sick of reformatting the whole drive. Any suggestions?

 

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

 

Partition or multiple hard drives?

If I were u I would create a 10GB partition on my current drive in the free space, leave the current partition as is and install the 64bitOS on the new partition leaving the page file on the new partition. Play around with it for a while and when I decided which I liked best I would either delete the 32bitOS with no changes to the partitions whatsoever (if I like 64bit). Or I would reformat the new partition and install the 32bit version on the new partition and clean up the old 32bit install later (and of course clean up my boot.ini so the old OS's don't show up on bootup.) That way in the end I would have a seperate partition for my OS whichever it may be for easy reformats/dual boots in the future. I would also use partition magic to create my new partition. Hope that made sense, it's late and I kindof have an assbackwards way of doing things somtimes but they u go*Big Grin
