Format from BIOS/Undeletable Partitions

[Firestop3]

Okay, to trying to be as short and specific as possible I have a Corsair 128 GB SSD that currently has windows installed and 5 different undeletable partitions. The MoBo on my old PC is dead but I cant erase the partitions on the SSD or format it in the Windows 10 installer. DBAN was blocked by my UEFI and I dont know how else to format this SSD in order to install windows on it. Any advice guys?

When you boot into a windows installer, you should be able to go into troubleshoot and eventually get to an option for a command prompt. From there, you can use diskpart:

Will I be able to access command prompt through the windows installer? I cant boot the PC or Windows, only see the BIOS/bootable USB

with the windows installation disk inserted, there should be an option for Repair your computer, then select troubleshoot and then select command prompt.

Beautiful, I have Diskpart cleaning all as we speak. How long should it take to clean a 128 gig SSD? I've heard 5 hours for a 1TB HDD so hopefully this wont take nearly as long, however there is no progress symbol or even confirmation that it is doing anything, just a blinking underscore and my drive activity light is solid white. Is there a way to check progress or should I just leave it be for a while?
