1.) Right click on My Computer

2.) Click Manage

4.) Right Click on the frozen drive you want to delete/Partition/Edit and fallow the toturals.



You can also pop within a Windows(R) CD and untilled the screans until it shows you the hard drives and you can delete it that path.



Thier is also a utility that you can use called Boot and Nuke

This program will allow you to wipe you're unyielding drive as many times as you will so all the notes is off.
