In computing, diskpart is a command-line hard disk partitioning utility included in versions of the Windows NT operating system line from Windows 2000 onwards, replacing fdisk which was used in MS-DOS based operating systems.[1]
The diskpart command supports the use of scripts to automate its usage. For example, the following text file could be supplied to diskpart to create a new partition:
create partition logical size=2048 assign letter=F
This will create a 2GB logical partition at the beginning of the free space on the disk and assign it the drive letter F:, provided that space requirements are met.[2]
Recovery Console
On the Recovery Console, which is included in Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, there is a diskpart command which is significantly different from the one included in the actual operating system. It only provides functionality for adding and deleting partitions, but not for setting an active partition.[3]
