[GenocidalEdge]

Does the partitioned hard drive need to be formatted?

[44971719785648751978]

What if an error pops up and wont let you expand?

[cheers2life]

if grayed out open cmd prompt

type "diskpart" hit enter

type "list disk" hit enter

type "select disk #" (# is the number of the disk you want remove the partition from)

type "clean" hit enter

BAM its done

[J0rd4n435]

OMG THANKYOU SO MUCHH!

I didn't realise that if you clicked on "delete partition", that it would just change to unallocated space, stupid me thought that it would be gone for ever. You are a life saver!!
