I have a second drive installed which was partitioned. One partition was used a back up, and the second for various files etc.
I have now installed a bigger main hdd and have moved some of the files to it. I now wish to reformat the second hdd. I have been able to remove one of the partitions, but not the second. The message I get is that the volume is in use. I can't see where it might be in use. I have tried using format from the c: prompt but similar problem.
It wasn't in the pc when I cloned the original hdd so I'm not sure why the machine thinks it has a volume in use.
I don't mind losing any info in the partition as I have a copy of it at the moment, but I would like to use the full drive and return it to just one partition. Any ideas how I can convice it that it's not needed at present?
Any help again would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
HJ
