Sorry Boss,
but my problem is most definitely NOT a partition problem.
Diskpart reports it as two disks. I recently used Diskpart
on an SSD to wipe out a different problem - like a new blank
disk it was after that. But my problem child says two disks.

I do have some older computers which I 'think' might be able
to boot off a DOS floppy . . . but they be IDE and this is
SATA - will DOS even access SATA drives?

I think Hiren's might be a good idea. I'm pretty sure I have
a disk image of it and the 'magic' to create a bootable USB
stick of it.

Tuesday. Mr. Green

Hmmmmm . . . I see emoticons to the right. But we'll see
if Mr. Greeny works this way.

Zim.

SImply use any disk partioning software program or you can start your computer and boot into DOS and run "F" which is a way to FORMAT it disk on that drive to wipe out all partions and anything else contained on it.

STart with a fresh no data disk.
On Hiren's ultimate boot cd is disk tools. One of them or several would also do this for you but you have to tellyour computer to boot to CD with that disk in the cd or dvd tray... It will boot directly to that.

Lots of really good stuff on that cd. Maybe you can google Hiren's and download it and make yourself that disk full of useful tools.


Hope this might help a little Zim..
