i have a seagate 160gb sata 7200rpm hd and the utility it came with will only allow me to format and create partitions... for some reason i accidentally created a really small partition at the end and it won't go away. i think it's less than 3mb.. the utility doesn't have an option to remove the partition and windows keep asking me if i wanna format it but i can't even do that to that tiny partition for some reason. so how do i remove a partition on a sata hard drive?
 
all computers have that, its where the drive stors the partition information... where are you looking for it BadKarma? its possible what your using just isnt showing it to you

I'm looking at it through Disk Management in XP SP2. Maybe they changed it in SP2?
If my memory is correct, I remembered formatting that 8MB partition in one of my old computer. Though I never used it. Will formatting that 8MB partition have any adverse effect? I don't remember having any problems with my old computer.

I have another question, if you don't partition the drive will that 8MB partition show up?
