i reinstalled windows 10 and when back in windows i noticed the other ssd that i had windows on that i formated wouldnt let go of the partitions look picture -> http://prntscr.com/lax1nc
want the whole ssd formated and ready for use again.
Are you booting UEFI?
I assume you are trying to delete disk 4 and disk 4 has your EFI partition. Is this correct?
It is always best to install Windows with a single storage device installed.
disk 4 means nothing to me. i wanted to format it. but only the larges partition on it can be deleted or formated. i'm stuck with this.
and idk if i booted uefi

i need to delete partition 2 on disk 4 http://prntscr.com/laylh2
how can i do that ?
Make sure windows boots ok first by pulling power on that disk then put it back and you can delete in disk managment or any free paritioning software
the only thing that worked was using the windows 10 bootable usb and go into cmd and using clean option...............
disk management didnt work, but when it did work it changed the ssd to fat32.... for some reason... and diskpart didnt work. solved now
From the screenshot, I can see disk 4 has some system partitions and the rest space is unallocated. I would just remove any partition and then format the whole disk as a single NTFS partition. If you want to install Windows there, remove all partitions and then click next (from Windows Setup).
the problem was that i couldn't remove those extra partitions on disk 4 because that it was the OS disk while it wasnt since disk 0 was the OS disk at the time. anyway i booted from the ubs drive into windows install then just cleaned the disks from there and then unplugged all the disks from the motherboard and just installed with 1 disk in the motherboard and it works as it should now.
