    Cannot format my drive
    Hello,
    Today I did a partition in my c drive(by formatting it) and created a new drive(f) of 10gb because I wanted to install a new OS kubuntu but when I was installing kubuntu some error(check disk:chkdsk /r)and the PC restarted.after that I tried to remove ubuntu and tried to format my f drive where I installed kubuntu.the f drive is not getting formatted and a error is coming :"windows cannot format this drive.quit any disk utilities or other programs that are using this drive and make sure no window is displaying the contents of the drive.then try formatting again".
    What do I do to format my f drive?
    I tried using BIOS settings but it did not get format.
    Is my F drive corrupt?
    What can I do install kubuntu again by formatting my"f" drive.
    Thank you
