How to format hard drive with windows on it

[tapak]

I already made a few threads on how to fix windows boot manager without any of the solutions working, so i decided to just completely wipe my old drive.

Right now my boot drive is a Crucial MX300 M.2 275GB drive and the hard drive is a Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 7200RPM SATA.
I want to format the HDD

I tried using a command in elevated cmd but it wont let me.
And of course windows disk manager is as useful as my dog to wipe the drive.

Just in case that might help here is my PC specs:
i5 6600k
Gigabyte B250M-D3H
16GB kingston @2133
GTX 1050 ti

If nothing works i will just reinstall windows and format both drives. I got my data backed up already.

You boot from windows installation media and do whatever you want with partitions on your SSD (using diskpart).

You can't format windows partition from within windows itself. It's like trying to eat your own head.

Take a Windows 10 bootable USB and run the installer from that.
Before installation it asks you to select where windows should be installed. From there you can format all your drives.

If you want everything gone from SSD, then use diskpart clean command. It wipes everything from drive.

• diskpart
  list disk
  select disk 0
  clean

Note. Clean command is data destructive. Don't clean the wrong disk.

Since you're wiping your boot drive, the boot manager will be gone too(that's within the OS).
