u made me feel like hackerman, ty x a million

[@Hirokuro_Asura]

Sadly after doing everything exactly as in the video after initialization of the drive all the partitions are back... I've tried to delete these partitions (as they're from a broken OS) and copy a healthy OS on this drive. Macrium gave me "Error 8"

[@LuvRainKinnyaani]

When I put delete part 5 override it responds with the argument specified for this command are not valid for more information on the command type help delete partition. ?????

[@LuvRainKinnyaani]

Help

[@jayakumarm1803]

This video is an example of what a KZbin tutorial should be. The title is short, voice is clear, information is accurate and fast. Thank you, sir.

The year is 2020. A pandemic ravages the globe as social unrest brings about protests and the economy teeters on the brink. But it the middle of it all, this video saved my day. Thank you.

The year is now 2024. The world is on the precipice and the planet is burning, yet this video still saves.

[@machelvet9594]

2:26 For some reason I couldn't delete my partitions. If your goal is to get an empty disk in order to use it for some other purpose, then the easiest way at this point (2:26) is to type: "clean" and press enter. This will clean up the selected drive. There are two things you have to be absolutely sure about: 1. Make sure that you have selected the disk you want to "clean" (here is how 2:16). 2. DO NOT "clean" the disk with your running OS!

It says diskpart cannot delete volumes on removable media

[@realsxzmn4143]

Working in 2020! And btw, yall shoud subscribe to this dude. He gets straight to the point unlike other ytbers which takes 15m just to say 'Sorry this does not work' unlike this one who talks for like 30s and gets to the point and short video! TYSM now i can run windows on my external hard drive!!!

[@JoeTaco83]

Extremely informative. Save me a headache. Very clear step by step instructions. I had a hard drive pulled out of an Ubuntu system but the Linux format partition wouldn’t let it be readable or formatted. Thanks so much for this video.

[@accessrandom]

You're welcome, and thank you 🙏.

[@dntsaycant1234]

A wonderfully narrated video, where the narrator has a mellow, reassuring presence in his speech. I haven't used DOS in so long - since the early 80s - that I literally forgot disk partition. Thank you for refreshing my memory. Suggestion: When I began typeing repeat commands, I remembered the valuable use of the old DOSKEY command. Very useful for us poor typists; saves a lot of typing. Again, thanks ever so much for your expert explanation. It was indeed a pleasure to listen to your soothing voice.

[@accessrandom]

Many thanks 👍🙏 The good news is that the command prompt and even diskpart has features of doskey built-in (for example, the up-arrow to retrieve your previous commands so you don't have to type them again).

[@dntsaycant1234]

@@accessrandom Thanks again, A.R. I just tried it WITHOUT doskey command. Another learning experience. FOR ME!! Not for nothin', with that mellifluous, articulate voice of yours, you should truly look into voice-over work, you're that good. (Please don't answer this, but I'm praying that my second suggestion has already been explored/fulfilled by you) 😊 My very best wishes to you and your family.

I was going nut trying to figure out the partition issues in DISK MANAGEMENT and couldn't find any clear information about it on the web until I ran across your video. I just subscribed and looking forward to learning more from you. You're FANTASTIC, keep up the great videos. And thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@accessrandom]

[@mprzytocki95]

You literally saved me so much time and hassle. I took my old HDD out of my HP laptop and replaced it with an SSD hard drive to make my laptop faster. I want to use my old hard drive as an external (portable) hard drive which I can just put into a hard drive enclosure and use as a portable drive. I did exactly what you did on your video and I managed to remove recovery and all other little partitions created by windows on my old hard drive. I can now use it as a portable hard drive with no issues. Great work and thank you for taking time to make this instructional video. Absolute champion 👍🏻👍🏻

I love this instruction video. The instruction is superb, very clear and concise. No background music that helps me to focus on learning the instruction. Bravo

[@davidg4512]

You can skip almost all of that and just do "select disk 0" (or whichever number you have), then execute "clean".

[@accessrandom]

Yes, you can certainly do that to clear the entire disk (which is the use case in the video). I'll add it to the description - thanks.

Glad to hear you found the video useful. Thank you 👍

[@armagaan009]

For any miserable folk like me who encountered the following: Virtual Disk Service error: The operation is not supported by the object. I googled around a bit. After you get to 3:35. Just type "clean" and hit enter. It will erase all the partitions and you will be left with a full drive of unallocated memory. But, I repeat, IT WILL DELETE ALL THE PARTITIONS. Maybe there is a way to use clean on a specific partition too. But I did not look for that. If that is the case for you then you'll have to google a bit more. If you too are looking to free up an entire drive then the above method works like a charm.

[@accessrandom]

Thank you for the tip - it will be helpful for others in the same situation. I did mention it in the description (but was unable to add it to the video as an annotation).

[@davidkalbfleisch6864]

Thanks Man U set me in the right direction depending on how your disc is formatted there’s different layouts in to approaching the format Took me all day but I figured it out here was my solution I had to clean the disk in cmd than convert it from fat32 to NTFS IN DISK management than Went to cmd, selected proper volume with the undeletable files and typed (FORMAT RECOMMENDED NOWAIT LABEL=“BOUTDAMNTIME” QUICK OVERRIDE NOERR) had to wait a while LOL then I cleaned the disk again and then typed (FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL=“BOUTDAMNTIME” QUICK COMPRESS) so if it doesn’t work for you guys try this way it works for me

[@davidkalbfleisch6864]

Before the second command I had to go back to disk management format the disc in NTFS then went back to CMD and typed the second command

[@tedanhorn1833]

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! This tutorial was easy to follow and extremely helpful. Used your "How to clone an SSD drive using Macrium", it was also very good. Then used this video to delete partitions on the old drive. It was a little scary using DISKPART in the CMD prompt, but your calm instructions got me through it. One thing, I had to seek out another tutorial to partition my newly wiped disk. It was easy using the DISK MANAGEMET tool...a little add on to the de-partition video would be great.

[@accessrandom]

When you go into Disk Management (as seen at the 0:33 mark), are you able to right-click the partition and choose "Extend Volume"? If that is unavailable, you may need to use some type of partition manager software.

[@accessrandom]

The partition from which you boot will not be able to be deleted (since Windows is currently running from that partition). The same goes for virtual memory files. If the delete fails because of a pagefile that is not on your boot partition, you could set Windows to disable virtual memory, and then delete that partition.

[@alfiantv2579]

@@accessrandom how to disable windows virtual memory?

Select the System icon in the Control Panel, then click on Advanced System Settings. Under the Performance section, click the Settings button then tab to Advanced. Under Virtual Memory, click the Change button, where you can set the pagefile for any drive to be "No paging file."
