1256496 2012-01-29 19:13:00 I can't format or delete my data partition. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and I went into disk management and can't format or delete my data partiton. Any suggestions? lostsoul62 (16011)
1256497 2012-01-29 19:53:00 Do you mean another partition you created, separate to the main OS partition ?

If the partition is a working partition, meaning window is using it, then it wont allow to be deleted.

if its not a working partition, then try something like gparted or one of the many other bootable CD's to do what you want. Or maybe something like the free version of Paragon Free Partition manager (www.paragon-software.com)

Puppy has Gparted and other tools which can get you out of all sorts of Windows situations.
