I'm trying to delete a partition using Ranish Partition Manager. A wonderful program I'm sure, and the price is certain right - but would someone who has successfully used RPM kindly explain how to fully delete a partition and not just change its size/data?

[i]Partition Manager can create, copy, and resize primary and extended partitions[/i]

But it doesn't say anything about deleting Partitions just resize & create.

I'm not sure that it will do what you require here.

------- Readme for Version 2.44 Beta / CMD Line June 09, 2002 -------

Beta version 2.44 combines Partition Manager GUI and command line.
It also have increased buffer size to investigate reported crushes on some systems (laptops?) when users enter cylinder > max_cyl_value.

Command line interface options:

part.exe [disk] [/|/BATCH:file [/QUIET|/VERBOSE] [/DEBUG] [/SURE]]

Commands: disk-no - hard disk number, valid values are 1..8
- if no command is specified GUI will run
/Print - Print disk and partitions information
/Extra - Print detailed disk and partitions information
/MBR - Write standard Initial Program Loader into MBR
/ACT /P:partition-no |/PRI[:nth]
/DEL /P:partition-no |/PRI[:nth] |/LOG[:nth] |/EXT |/ALL
/FOR /P:partition-no |/PRI[:nth] |/LOG[:nth] [/V:label]
/CRE [/PRI |/EXT |/LOG] [/SZ:mb|pcnt%%] [/FOR [/V:label]]
Additional /CREATE options: /NTFAT16 /FAT16 /FAT32 /NTFS

Examples: part_cmd /print - print information about the first disk
......... part_cmd /all - print information about all fixed disks
......... part_cmd 2 /extra - print detailed information about disk 2
......... part_cmd /del /ext - delete extended partition and all logical drives
......... part_cmd /cre /pri /sz:4000 /for /NTFAT16 - create 4G FAT16 partition
......... part_cmd /for /log:2 /v:BACKUP - format existing second logical drive
......... part_cmd /del /all /nodel:NTFS,82,83 - delete all but 0x7, 0x82, 0x83

Note: disk-no and /sure from the command line are applied to all batch commands

Buddy, try Disk Management.

Right click the partition and there is an option offered to delete partition.

Select the partition (using cursor keys), press the delete key. Press F2 to save the change.
