    Hi Harish

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd, then right click Command Prompt in the resulting list and select 'Run as Administrator'

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    diskpart

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    list disk

    (Make note of the disk number you want to wipe and enter it into the next command - replace X)

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    select disk X

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    clean

    Then, close Command Prompt, and check in Disk Management if that drive is now marked as 'Unallocated Space' and if so, right click that space and select 'New - Simple Volume' and accept the defaults.

    Hi Harish

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    That partition you are trying ro delete is a Windows boot partition and I do not see a boot partition on any other drive, please provide a screenshot of that Disk Management window again without that menu showing, so I can see all partitions on all drives.

    Also, please explain what was on that drive previously, were you booting from that drive, are you now booting form a different drive?
