The only info I can find on this subject is how to delete the partitions in the first place, no info on what happens if they DON'T go away. To change the name of the drive, you may enter a name for Volume label, tick the checkbox for Quick Format, and then click Start. 4 From the drop down list select NTFS under file system. How in the holy terror are these partitions still there? It tells me of course by now that they're corrupted and can't be formatted. 3 Right click on the drive to be formatted and click Format. I use datalifeguard diagnostics to rewrite the drive with zeroes. I pull the drive out, plug it into a usb dock, and use diskpart clean all on my other computer. I boot back into the windows installer, and as if by magic, the partitions are back.
So I boot up windows rescue tools and attempt to use diskpart clean.ĭiskpart does its thing, and I list part on the SSD, no partitions, we're golden, right? Wrong. I couldn't reinstall windows, because I couldn't delete partitions on it, windows installer wouldn't let me.
I suspect that hibernation is somehow to blame, but that isn't the focus of this thread. The other day, I get the same error again. Went on about my life, this was about 2 months ago. It had the 'BCD corrupted' windows boot error. I had it in the laptop, had windows 10 running on it just fine for several months. It's a Samsung MZ-7TE2560 (OEM from a laptop).
