How do you remove partitions in Windows 7?

Answer 1

For that you need a bootable CD of your operating system. A bootable CD means that your PC will boot with that CD rather than your harddrive.

• Once you have a bootable CD, insert it into your CD-drive.
• Restart your computer.
• Now when the computer is starting, you have to enter the boot menu. It is done using different keys for different PCs. HP usually has F8. Others, you'll have to find out.
• Now set boot preference, with CDDRIVE on top.
• Then exit boot menu and keep pressing control.
• You'll enter the Windows Installation menu.
• After that you'll get and option to format Windows and select the partition. It is here you can delete partitions, create new ones, and install back windows.

CAUTION : You will format you PC completely and lose all installed data in installation drive.

Windows has some rudimentary volume management available under "Computer Management". You can access this by right-clicking on "My Computer" and selecting "Manage". When Computer Management opens, select "Storage-->Disk Management" in the left pane. You can right-click on the graphical representation of the volume that you want to change in the right pane and select from a menu of options.

Windows 8 built-in Disk Management has ability to delete volume. You can delete partitions on Windows 8 using its own Disk Management.

Right click the Start screen and you can open all apps, right click Computer and choose Manage, then you can open the Disk Management in Windows 8. Or you can start the cmd.exe in administrative mode! And enter the command "diskmgmt.msc" to open the Disk-Management in Windows 8.

Under Disk Management, you can right click the volume and select delete volume to delete any partitions you like (not including system partition).

Windows 8 partition software

Windows 8 built-in Disk Management has many limitations. It can't delete system partition, it can only extend volume when there is some unallocated space behind it, otherwise, the "Extend Volume" option is not available. Because Windows 8 built-in Disk Management doesn't provide "Move partiton" feature, so you have to seek Windows 8 partition magic alternative.

EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition, a comprehensive free hard disk partition manager and system optimization software for Windows-based administration, works well with Windows 8. It is free partition software supporting functions to delete partition in Windows 8. Besides, you have two options to resize Windows 8 partition: extend one and shrink another by "Resize/Move partition" feature or merge two partitions into one by "Merge partition."
