Then the os sees those partitions as a system disk, so you need to delete the partitions in diskpart. So open cmd as a admin, then type diskpart. Then select disk 3(check the number is right by looking at the size), then clean.

I recently bought a 1TB 970 Evo to replace my current 500GB 850 Evo as a boot drive. I cloned the old drive to the new one using Macrium Reflect and once booting from the new one I realized the partition is only 500GB. Long story short, after tinkering around with my limited knowledge, I ended up with 2 unallocated partitions on my new drive. Is there anyway I can merge the 2 partitions or just format the whole drive entirely? I'd like to just move the contents from my old drive to my new one or at least start with a clean slate to install windows on. Clearly I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If there isn't any data on that, just delete all the partitions and make one big one.

Thats what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I don't have much knowledge on this and I don't know how to delete or merge the unallocated parts.
