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.
