    use the above to format or delete the partition. Or put your windoze disk in reboot & do what albertross said.

  • if you delete the d: partition it will be gone, if you format it, it will still be there, but the data will be gone. However you can just recreate it either at installation time (using create), or later on after you installed windows.

    Either way, all data on d: will vanish
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
