How to format old disk after installing new boot disk? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Move EFI System Partition to another drive
5 answers
I just installed a 250 GB m.2 SSD as a Windows 10 boot drive on an Acer Aspire E15. The computer previously had Windows 10 installed on a 1 TB HDD.
This is what my current configuration looks like:
Disk 1 is the SSD boot drive running Windows 10. Currently, the EFI System Partition appears to be listed as a boot drive during restarts, which is a problem. How can I format Disk 0 (the old 1TB HDD) so that the drive contains a single partition with no strings attached?
I have tried the following DISKPART commands with no success (See errors below).
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---
* Disk 0 Online 931 GB 1041 MB *
Disk 1 Online 232 GB 0 B *
DISKPART> delete disk override
The disk you specified cannot be deleted.
Please select an empty missing disk to delete.
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt

* Disk 0 Online 931 GB 1041 MB *
Disk 1 Online 232 GB 0 B *
DISKPART> clean
Virtual Disk Service error:
Clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot,
system, pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume.

You still have partitions on the disk, delete these first then try delete disk
You also need to 'select' the disk, before trying to delete anything.
list disk
select disk 1
list partition
select partition 1
delete partition
.... and so on.
