No dodgy software to download. I’m using Win 7 – Works in Windows 10 also, just click on Cortana and type in CMD or just DISKPART to skip the first bit.
All items in bold-italic are the ones you need to key – Make sure you select the correct disk when in DISKPART.
Start > Open / Run CMD.exe – don’t just open, right-click then ‘Run as Administrator’.
On some PC’s you may have to go to Start > All Programs > Accessories then Command Prompt, don’t just open, right-click then ‘Run as Administrator’.
At this prompt …
C:\Windows\system32>
Type diskpart then press enter.
You are now in DISKPART.
