Hi<br />
<br />
I have an 8gb key drive which I used to install some Dell diagnostics to. &nbsp;This created a 2gb partition &nbsp;which I now can't remove. &nbsp;I have tried formatting the drive and removing the partition in computer management but it won't budge. &nbsp;I also can't access the other 6gb of the drive - it's unused space which I can't create a partition on.<br />
<br />
Anybody know how I restore it to it's original state?

Hi

I have an 8gb key drive which I used to install some Dell diagnostics to.  This created a 2gb partition  which I now can't remove.  I have tried formatting the drive and removing the partition in computer management but it won't budge.  I also can't access the other 6gb of the drive - it's unused space which I can't create a partition on.

Anybody know how I restore it to it's original state?

Remove Partition from Key Drive

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
