It's a utility to reformat your drive.

A low level format is unlikely to be the solution. My guess is he means he cannot format the drive as he'll lose the data on it. If that's the case, make a backup to an external drive and then repartition and (quick) format the drive. Then reinstall the desired OS. Or, better yet, get someone else to do it for you.

Your guess could be correct.

It sounded to me like he runs an SSD but wants to reuse a secondary drive that he can't delete the contents of. In which case, a format would work just fine. Although, if he's already running Windows he could just use Disk Manager to do the reformat.

Well, you may be right too. But if it's just a loose drive hanging around with nothing important on it, I would just delete all partitions on the drive and create a new one and quick format that one. Why fix a (supposedly) broken file system that you don't need anymore anyway.

So would I, but trying to explain the partitioning of a hard drive was more than I wanted to do. A format alone would accomplish the same thing.

You can delete it just fine. But obviously not if you start that very same windows and then try and delete it as it's running; your machine would actually crash if you tried that. But it's still not clear if you're booting from that drive so you're basically just making us take wild stabs at solutions without being clear on the exact situation. Either way, if you boot the machine from a Linux DVD or usb stick, you should be able to delete windows from that drive as there will be no protection whatsoever preventing you from deleting the windows folder and the files in the root. If you want, you can also delete the program files folder and the user accounts, but be careful in doing the latter as some of your valuable data might be in the underlying folders. Best you can do is make a backup before you start messing about.

And all of this of course assumes there's really a good reason to delete windows from that drive, which isn't really clear from what you say.

The best advice I can give you is to get a mate over who's good with computers and have him help you out, because it seems like this is not your forte and you may up accidentally messing up your data if you don't know what you're doing.

No no i usually boot windows on my SSD.

I have a second 1 terabyte drive where i installed windows vista 32 bit because i wanted to play a 32 bit game but it didnt even work. Now i have stupid vista on my standard hard drive which takes up what... 30 - 40 gig?

And when i boot into SSD and try to delete  vista from other hard drive - there is some kind of protection and it wont let me do it :crankey:

Sounds annoying! Try booting from a Linux disk and then deleting the windows from your secondary hard drive.

Right click on the windows folder on your mechanical drive, click through properties and find the file permissions area. make sure you set all of it to be read write and execute for everyone/all users.  It might be the ntfs permissions are stopping you because it think its important system file stuff so it has write permissions disabled.

Check stuff along those lines.
