How u delete or format ntfs partition

AI Thread Summary
To delete or format an NTFS partition, users can access "Disk Management" by right-clicking "My Computer" and selecting "Manage," then choosing the desired partition. However, formatting the C: drive, which contains the operating system, is not possible while the system is running. To format the C: drive, a third-party tool or the Windows XP CD is required. Booting from the XP CD and entering recovery mode allows users to delete all partitions. Magic Partition software is also suggested as a user-friendly option for formatting partitions.

well i think you can install magic partition...it can easily format any partition just a matter of click away..
 
If you boot from the XP cd-rom and go into dos console recovery mode, you should be able to delete all partitions.
 
Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
