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"
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. ?????
This video was posted almost 2 years ago. I've been searching for this solution for over a month and this is the clearest tutorial that I've watched. Thank you very much!
You have the very best videos I've ever seen. So clear, to the point and easy to understand, I'm AMAZED! 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.
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 👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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.
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).
@@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.
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.
You are a life savior... I do not need to download crappy apps in the internet that might be a carrier of virus just to fix my hard drive's partition that cannot be deleted using disk management. Thank you so very much. More power. Please do make more videos like this one in fixing the computer. God bless... 😊😊😊
Liked! Short and straight to the point. I am in the same boat in wanting to delete an old HD from a dead computer and use it as a backup storage. This tutorial helps me to do that. 2 thumbs up!
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
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!!!
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.
Thank you so much! It works. I tired for so long to delete partitions that were not deletable. Other TH-cam videos did not explain this issues. Thank you again for your help. Having multiple drive letters show up for one drive was driving me crazy.
Thank you so much for this connected an SSD with an old Windows 10 install and couldn't remove the partitions associated with the OS, simple and straight to the point to continue what someone below said.
It sounds like it may be an older laptop that uses a Winflash utility to flash the BIOS. If you look in the Appendix folder, you should see instructions in a Win Flash PDF. I'll need to consider a new video for older Acer models.
Thank you i needed more space in my C drive..and i thought i would have to re install windows to do that but after watching this video..i deleted all partition and extended my C drive volume thanks again..now my laptop is up to date
You are really awesome. Seriously, this is what I'm talking about... The whole process explained to the letter, clearer than the water (literally speaking) ... Thanks for the video, you explained in step by step in detail. Phenomenal.👍🙏
Very well explained. I remember when i lost my data during partition deleted by mistake. Then i used Stellar Data Recovery premium for windows to recover. And if i talk about this video you described so well what we have to do during this whole process.
thanks this really helped me and it was straight to the point without the usual "i like the sound of my own voice aint I clever" ramblings of other you tube videos
Excellent tutorial on removing disk partitions, thank you. Even though the "Clean" command works too, it's nice to know these steps in the event they are needed using an older OS.
I appreciate this most valuable info video. I am trying to dual boot with a Linux Distro on a laptop I have rebuilt and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me install on this single HDD. I totally forgot about how limited windows is on that you can only have up to 4 partitions. I had recently reset win 10 and now there are two healthy recoveries.
virtual disk service error: Delwte is not allowed on the current boot, system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume😢it show this ..what to do? please help me
Same problem with installing wins 10 with an added new problem i cannot delete any of the partition either you override it or clean. I can't delete it period 😢
Hi, i tried to delete or format the hard drive but i cant , command delete part override, virtual disk service error: Delete operations on current boot volume, system, paging file, crash dump, or hibernation are not allowed, its a 1 tb hard drive of a xbox one x, please help!!! (i speak spanish, sorry for my bad english)
There may be some dependency on the currently running Windows system, whether it's an EFI partition or it contains a pagefile. If it's a pagefile, you can remove it by going to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Settings button under Performance -> Advanced Tab -> Change button. If it's latching onto the currently-booted EFI partition, you may need to physically remove the hard drive and attach it to another computer, and run diskpart from there.
This was what I was looking for, for more than an hour. Thank you! I'm doing exactly what you described - clean up and old windows laptop hard drive for storing videos and photos.
Would using the clean command in diskpart yield the same result? It’s faster than deleting all the partitions. Just need to go to disk management after to remap and rename disk volume, right?
Yes, you're correct, thank you. I added that to the description shortly after I published it for those who want to wipe the disk (instead of by partition).
I used these steps and could delete partitions but when I start installing, all those partitions reappeared. Could you please help what could be an issue?
Hello, I have a problem, and I am currently borderline crying right now, full tears, I’m not sure if you respond due to this video being made 2 years ago, so I have a problem with extending my main drive, I’ve done everything else to the point of making another drive deleted, but I can’t make it into free space. Please help I’m literally crying right now.
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.
Thanks!! I had a problem with one partition and in the end, i could no longer open the partition and i really wanted to use the name that the partition had but i could not delete it from the disk manager nor from the file system, but this worked like a charm!
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
When I try to delete part override it just says “Delete is not allowed on the current boot, system, pagefile, crash dump or hibernation volume.” Please helppppp

First of all thanks for this useful video. I do have a question though, would It be possible to delete all the partions at once ( hidden partions included) with the "clean" command? I was thinking something like: select disk x clean Do you think It would work?
what do you do when delete partition returns "DiskPart has encountered an error: A device which does not exist was specified. See the System Event Log for more information." i have a drive i cant do anything with it only has 2 partitions
There could be a problem anywhere in the chain from the disk to the motherboard - test/replace the cable, try a different port on the motherboard, and if possible, try the disk on a different motherboard. Also try running a "chkdsk X: /r" (where X is your hard drive) from the command prompt. On the software side, make sure you have permissions for the device.
Hey so it won't let me delete a partition and it says: Virtual Disk error, The device is in use. The selected volume or part is in use. To continue with the operation use the override parameter. What do I do?
You may be using a dynamic disk. Can you please use the "volume" keyword instead of "partition". For example, "list volume" or "delete volume override".
I'm sorry but my disk partitions doesn't delete Diskpart gives and error whenever I try to delete it. I think it says you can't delete it because it has the OS in it, but that partition doesn't have the OS. Another partition in the same hard drive does. Can I get some help (Sorry if it doesn't make any sense I will explain it better)
Is there a pagefile that is currently being used by Windows on that partition by any chance? You can remove the pagefile by going to Contol Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Settings button under Performance -> Advanced Tab -> Change button.
for me the EFi partition is showing as a separate drive along with other drives, its contains a folder named EFI. IS there any way merging it to the existing C: drive, dont want it to be showing on The PC section
I need help” Virtual Disk Service error: Clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot, (system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume.”

You can skip almost all of that and just do "select disk 0" (or whichever number you have), then execute "clean".
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.
I had to use this command because that’s how protected those part were override worked on one and not the others lol but clear Just nuke them
this helped me! Thx

There may be some dependency on the currently running Windows system, whether it's an EFI partition or it contains a pagefile. If it's a pagefile, you can remove it by going to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Settings button under Performance -> Advanced Tab -> Change button. If it's latching onto the currently-booted EFI partition, you may need to physically remove the hard drive and attach it to another computer, and run diskpart from there.

Thank you so much ❣️
First of all thanks for this useful video. I do have a question though, would It be possible to delete all the partions at once ( hidden partions included) with the "clean" command?
I was thinking something like:
select disk x
clean
Do you think It would work?
Yes, as long as there is no dependency to the disk from the currently running Windows, you can use the clean command to delete all partitions at once.
@@accessrandom That's great news, thanks again 😀
what do you do when delete partition returns "DiskPart has encountered an error: A device which does not exist was specified.
See the System Event Log for more information." i have a drive i cant do anything with it only has 2 partitions
There could be a problem anywhere in the chain from the disk to the motherboard - test/replace the cable, try a different port on the motherboard, and if possible, try the disk on a different motherboard. Also try running a "chkdsk X: /r" (where X is your hard drive) from the command prompt. On the software side, make sure you have permissions for the device.
Hey so it won't let me delete a partition and it says: Virtual Disk error, The device is in use. The selected volume or part is in use. To continue with the operation use the override parameter. What do I do?
what if after i type delete part override and it say "The specified command or parameters are not supported on this system."
what am i suppose to do ?
You may be using a dynamic disk. Can you please use the "volume" keyword instead of "partition". For example, "list volume" or "delete volume override".
Thank you so much, I was gonna clean the hole hard drive before this video
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad the video was useful.
I'm sorry but my disk partitions doesn't delete
Diskpart gives and error whenever I try to delete it. I think it says you can't delete it because it has the OS in it, but that partition doesn't have the OS. Another partition in the same hard drive does. Can I get some help
(Sorry if it doesn't make any sense I will explain it better)
Is there a pagefile that is currently being used by Windows on that partition by any chance? You can remove the pagefile by going to Contol Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Settings button under Performance -> Advanced Tab -> Change button.
Can we delete that
650mb(Efi system partition)
On the disk where OS is installed?
In your video it is in Disk 1
I believe the EFI partition is required because it has bootloader information on it.
for me the EFi partition is showing as a separate drive along with other drives, its contains a folder named EFI. IS there any way merging it to the existing C: drive, dont want it to be showing on The PC section
Perfectly explained, thank you!
I need help” Virtual Disk Service error:
Clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot,
(system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume.”
What does this mean?
Thank you so very much this just fixed a problem i was having and finding nothing else on how to fix.
