Completely format drive

[Running Raptors]

So I grabbed a HDD from a oem machine and the drive is 640gb. When I go to files and go look at the drive it shows up with 3 other categories like drive G,E,D and one of them says system reserved or something like that. I know that is from the HDD that I just put in cause my os is on my ssd and that has its own system reserved. So my question is how can I reformat the drive so that it is just under one drive name and not like 3? Sorry if this is a bit hard to understand feel free to ask questions if you don't understand.

You can delete them from Disk Management or use diskpart from CMD. 

 

Disk Management is easy, but I can walk you through diskpart, if DM fails you.

open CMD and run as admin and then type in diskpart and the type in ( List disk ) now select the disk you want to format, like ( Select disk 2 ) type that in and change the number to the drive you want to format and then hit enter and then type in ( Clean ) then hit enter 

 

now to partition the drive 

 

( List disk ) enter ( create partition primary ) enter ( Select partition 1 ) enter ( Active ) enter ( format FS=NTFS label=*the name you want it * quick )enter ( Assign letter=g ) enter and then type in exit 

 

all done

Go to disk management and delete all the partitions, then "create new simple volume".
