This section explains how to delete traditional NetWare partitions. For information about deleting NSS partitions, storage groups, and volumes, see Contents > Novell Storage Services (NSS).
NOTE: The partition table displays partitions such as OS/2, UNIX, and XENIX* as Unknown Partition Type #. Don't delete these unknown partition types unless you know what is on them.
Some machine vendors such as COMPAQ create a small partition that setup and configuration utilities can be run from. Don't delete this partition.
At the server console prompt, enter [LOAD] NWCONFIG
Select Standard Disk Options > Modify Disk Partitions and Hot Fix. If you have more than one disk, the Available Disk Drives list appears. Select the disk you want from the list.

A list of the available disk partitions is displayed; mirrored partitions are identified. Select the disk partition you want to delete. If the selected partition is mirrored or if it contains volumes that have not been deleted, the appropriate message is displayed. Follow the prompts. Otherwise, a confirmation box is displayed containing the message Delete Disk Partition? Select Yes. The space occupied by the deleted disk partition now appears as Free Space in the list of disk partitions at the top of the screen.
