[SOLVED] How do I format a drive that has 3 partitions?

[jaged]

I have a 1tb HDD that used to be my primary Windows hard drive.
I switch to SSD as my primary and just have the HDD sitting in my case now.
When I go into Disk Management I see that the drive now lettered G:\ has 3 partitioins: System Reserved D:\ which is 100mb, the main body of the drive which is G:\ which is 930 gb and a 3rd partition that is 519 mb and says System Reserved.

How do I format the drive so it's just a single 1tb partition to be used as a data/storage drive? That would get rid of the extra drive letter as well.

Thank you.

***EDIT: I figured it out. In Disk Management I deleted the Volume D: & G: which auto combined them into 1 bigger unallocated space. Then I formatted it as normal.
There is still the 500+mb recovery partition that has no options when I right click on, just says HELP. So I'm not sure about that though.

***EDIT 2: So thanks to DISKPART I deleted the System partition on the extra drive and then extended the volume of the drive so it is now just 1 big volume.

Thanks.

You may be able to do so in disk management.

You can use the Windows installer to delete the partitions and back out before installation. Then use disk manager to create the drive as you want.
