I have a 120gb Samsung 840 (not pro) ssd, but about 10gb of it is partitioned as GUID Partition Table, as Mac OS Extended Journal (from my attempts at hackintosh), but now I can't use those 10gb. I don't know how to delete it. I even tried Samsung's Magician secure erase, but it couldn't complete because of some error. Is there any way to recover those 10gb? If I used a caddy and plugged it into the USB of a macbook, could I reformat it as FAT?

Is it possible to wipe the GUID Partition Table from Windows? I tried to do Magicians Secure erase but that didn't work. I can use a Mac if I have to but seeing as I don't own one, I would prefer to not have to.

I don't want to partition the drive, I want to wipe a partition thats formatted as Mac OS extended Journal. The problem is any windows program (device manager, samsung magician) and even the BIOS don't recognize that the partition even exists.
