Error deleting / formating 2nd HDD

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/error-deleting-formating-2nd-hdd.169860/

I have 2 HDD on my PC. One is 1GB and another is 40 GB.

My 1st problem is that I am not able to format the 40 GB drive but I can access it via one OS (win7 home).

My 2nd problem is that I am not able to access that 40GB HDD via my other OS (Win 7 Ultimate)

Pls help...

Use a third party partition software like Minitool Partition Wizard or Easus Partition Manager. Never use the Default utility from MS, its terrible at best.

I tries Easup partition manager & MS Win inbuilt utility but it did'nt worked....

^ post the screenshot showing the error.

Here is the error:

Boot up into Ubuntu using a live USB and then try formatting the drive.

Also try Mini Tool Partition Wizard and if nothing helps then Linux is always there.
