Deleting volumes on a disk with diskpart
Hi,
I have a old hdd with some partitions on it which I will delete to reformat the hdd.
I got this with diskpart:
DISKPART> list volume
Volume ### Bst Bezeichnung DS Typ Größe Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 0 C XXX NTFS Partition 237 GB Fehlerfre Startpar
Volume 1 ESP FAT32 Partition 100 MB Fehlerfre System
Volume 2 Recovery NTFS Partition 1024 MB Fehlerfre Versteck
Volume 3 D Data NTFS Partition 931 GB Fehlerfre
Volume 4 E RAW Partition 909 GB Fehlerfre
Volume 5 WINRE_DRV NTFS Partition 1000 MB Fehlerfre Versteck
Volume 6 SYSTEM_DRV FAT32 Partition 260 MB Fehlerfre Versteck
Volume 7 PBR_DRV NTFS Partition 20 GB Fehlerfre Versteck
I will delete the volumes 7, 6 and 5 and merge this with 4 or make a new bigger volume with all space on drive e:.
I choose
DISKPART> select volume 7
Volume 7 ist jetzt das gewählte Volume.
DISKPART> delete volume
This brings an error. Diskpart goes down and restart. The volume will not be deleted.
Second try:
DISKPART> select volume 7
Volume 7 ist jetzt das gewählte Volume.
DISKPART>attributes volume clear hidden
Fehler beim Dienst für virtuelle Datenträger:

Where is the error? What can I do to delete the volumes and get one big volume on drive e:?
Thank you!
Thanks. I used a third party tool. MiniTool Partition Wizard Free managed this.

Hi Thorsten,
Did you start your command prompt as an administrator?
Go to start => Begin typing command => Right click on Command Prompt => Choose Run as Administrator.
Best regards,

Yes, I did. The error is still present.

What happens when you try to delete it from the GUI using Disk Management? Do you see any error message in the Event Log?
