====== Reset/Uninitialize a disk via CLI (DISKPART) ====== To remove all partitions and uninitialize a disk on Windows a tool called ''DISKPART'' can be used. It is installed by default on all Windows versions, to perform an uninitialization administrator permissions are required. The functionality described here is only a minimum of all the things DISKPART can do. Firstly run ''DISKPART'' within an Admin CMD: DISKPART Then list all disks by running ''LIST DISK'': LIST DISK Select the disk that should be uninitialized by running: ''SELECT DISK '' SELECT DISK Finally ''CLEAN'' the disk, all data will be destroyed! clean This tool/way to reset won't replace the whole disks with zeroes, it will just delete the partition table as well as the initialization format (like gpt). To reuse the disk a reinitialization is required, this can be done graphically by entering the disk partition manager.
