Thanks's zbook. I've been tied up with trying to fix my pickup truck I bounced into a culvert during last month's snowstorm. I am wondering if there is some kind of program I can use to manipulate that boot sector on the partition that will not boot.
I was looking at Bootice, but I don't want to pull the trigger on something I don't know anything about.
My situation is such that I can't even install a fresh windows10 on the partition since it won't boot normally without the blue screen telling me to select another partition and a Win10 install has to reboot several times.
Do you think I could use partition magic or some utility to merge that partition without taking down the entire drive?

These you can perform at any pace:
Reset Windows 10
Custom Install Windows 10

Clean Install Windows 10
Refresh Windows 10
Did you delete the OS partitions? If so, which ones below did you delete?
Assuming partition 5 is a data partition, you can delete all others, which will become a single unallocated space as shown below:
Select the unallocated space and click on Next
The data partition should not be the cause of the following:
You don't need a third-party tool to delete partitions. Just boot the PC from the Windows USB device.
When you see the following screen, delete all OS partitions. Note that all data on the partitions will be deleted too.

Matthew, would you take a look at my partitions and tell me what I need to delete to leave just the C: drive, which I am currently using? I want to recover the full capacity of the disk and repartition it and start over with a new installation of Windows10 Pro on the new partition. I assume I can do all this in disk management.
