Some of the common Diskpart commands are:
• add disk
Mirrors the simple volume with focus to the specified disk.
• assign
Assigns a drive letter or mount point to the volume with focus.
• convert basic
Converts an empty dynamic disk to a basic disk.
• convert dynamic
Converts a basic disk into a dynamic disk. Any existing partitions on
the disk become simple volumes.
• create volume simple
Creates a simple volume. After creating the volume, the focus
automatically shifts to the new volume.
• exit
Exits the DiskPart command interpreter.
• help
Displays a list of the available commands.
• list disk
Displays a list of disks and information about them, such as their
size, amount of available free space, whether the disk is a basic or
dynamic disk, and whether the disk uses the master boot record
(MBR) or GUID partition table. The disk marked with an asterisk (*)
has focus.
• list partition
Displays the partitions listed in the partition table of the current disk.
On dynamic disks these partitions may not correspond to the
dynamic volumes on the disk. This discrepancy occurs because
dynamic disks contain entries in the partition table for the system
volume or boot volume (if present on the disk). They also contain a
partition that occupies the remainder of the disk in order to reserve
the space for use by dynamic volumes.
• list volume
Displays a list of basic and dynamic volumes on all disks.
• rem
Provides a way to add comments to a script.
• retain
Prepares an existing dynamic simple volume to be used as a boot or
system volume.
• select disk
Selects the specified disk and shifts the focus to it.
For a complete list of Diskpart commands, go to the Windows Storage
Server 2003 R2 Desktop on the NAS appliance via Remote Desktop and
select Start > Help and Support, search on Diskpart.
