DELPART.EXE: Delete Partitions 

DelPart deletes one or more partitions, including NTFS partitions. This
allows you to remove an NTFS partition without reformatting your hard
drive. (You cannot use the MS-DOS fdisk command to remove NTFS
partitions.)

DelPart deletes whole partitions, and also can delete individual logical
drives in extended partitions.

Because DelPart is an MS-DOS-based program, you can run this application
from a bootable floppy disk if the computer also has MS-DOS installed.

To use DelPart:

	At the command prompt, type delpart 

Important: DelPart also provides full UNDO capability.  You can delete
all partitions on a hard disk, and physically write that information
out, then choose Edit Undo and be able to restore the hard disk
partitioning scheme back to what is was before DelPart was run.

Note: You can also delete partitions by running the Windows NT Setup
program from disks, CD, or the network. You can quit Setup after
completing the early steps to delete partitions or create new ones.
