the hardrive to allow me to do this, I have tried running fdisk and =
everytime I try and delete the extended partitions it tells me that I =
cannot delete the partition while logical drives exist, even though I =
have also deleted the logical drives.  Somebody please help!!  Any =

commands I must use?
