Hi, I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre K210 Desktop Vista HP system that came with a
500G HD that I Partitioned to “C� (Windows), “D� (Data files) and “E�
(Photos) drive.
I recently purchased another 500G HD which was designated as Disk1 (the
original HD was Disk0) and installed Vista HP on Disk1 and Partitioned the
2nd HD (Disk1) to “F� (Vista HP), “G� (data files) and “H� (Photos) and
thought that I could format/delete the “C�, “D� and “E� Partitions on Disk0
and use that HD for future storage but it appears what I want to do is not
something that I am able to do.
I was able to delete Partitions “D� and “E� and Formatted “C� but not all
of “C�, apparently there are some files on “C� (i.e. the original HD that
contained Vista HP before I purchased the 2nd HD), that I am unable to erase
/ delete / format.
As best as I can tell, “C� is 125.5MB with 107.8MB Used and 17.7MB Free and
contains the following folders: $RECYCLE.BIN, BOOT, System Volume Information.

My objective / what I would like to do is, delete or format EVERYTHING on
“C� so that I will have 500G HD, Disk0 that I can use for additional storage.
I also would like to change and/or re-label Disk0 to be Disk1 and Disk1 to
be Disk0, since this is the disk that contains Vista HP and all my programs,
apps, data files, photos,….

I should alos add that the Lenovo system comes with an OEM copy of Windows
so Repair is not an option

Any help / advice / suggestions /… that you can offer would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you,
Bob
