Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008

The diskpart command interpreter helps you manage your computer’s drives (disks, partitions, volumes, or virtual hard disks).

Before you can use diskpart commands, you must first list, and then select an object to give it focus. After an object has focus, any diskpart commands that you type will act on that object.

List available objects

You can list the available objects and determine an object’s number or drive letter by using:

list disk - Displays all the disks on the computer.
list volume - Displays all the volumes on the computer.
list partition - Displays the partitions on the disk that has focus on the computer.
list vdisk - Displays all the virtual disks on the computer.

After you run the list commands, an asterisk (*) appears next to the object with focus.

Determine focus

When you select an object, the focus remains on that object until you select a different object. For example, if the focus is set on disk 0 and you select volume 8 on disk 2, the focus shifts from disk 0 to disk 2, volume 8.

Some commands automatically change the focus. For example, when you create a new partition, the focus automatically switches to the new partition.

You can only give focus to a partition on the selected disk. After a partition has focus, the related volume (if any) also has focus. After a volume has focus, the related disk and partition also have focus if the volume maps to a single specific partition. If this isn’t the case, focus on the disk and partition is lost.

Syntax

To start the diskpart command interpreter, at the command prompt type:

diskpart <parameter>

[!IMPORTANT] You must be in your local Administrators group, or a group with similar permissions, to run diskpart.

Parameters

You can run the following commands from the Diskpart command interpreter:

Command	Description
active	Marks the disk’s partition with focus, as active.
add	Mirrors the simple volume with focus to the specified disk.
assign	Assigns a drive letter or mount point to the volume with focus.
attach vdisk	Attaches (sometimes called mounts or surfaces) a virtual hard disk (VHD) so that it appears on the host computer as a local hard disk drive.
attributes	Displays, sets, or clears the attributes of a disk or volume.
automount	Enables or disables the automount feature.
break	Breaks the mirrored volume with focus into two simple volumes.
clean	Removes any and all partition or volume formatting from the disk with focus.
compact vdisk	Reduces the physical size of a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk (VHD) file.
convert	Converts file allocation table (FAT) and FAT32 volumes to the NTFS file system, leaving existing files and directories intact.
create	Creates a partition on a disk, a volume on one or more disks, or a virtual hard disk (VHD).
delete	Deletes a partition or a volume.
detach vdisk	Stops the selected virtual hard disk (VHD) from appearing as a local hard disk drive on the host computer.
detail	Displays information about the selected disk, partition, volume, or virtual hard disk (VHD).
exit	Exits the diskpart command interpreter.
expand vdisk	Expands a virtual hard disk (VHD) to the size that you specify.
extend	Extends the volume or partition with focus, along with its file system, into free (unallocated) space on a disk.
filesystems	Displays information about the current file system of the volume with focus and lists the file systems that are supported for formatting the volume.
format	Formats a disk to accept Windows files.
gpt	Assigns the gpt attribute(s) to the partition with focus on basic GUID partition table (gpt) disks.
help	Displays a list of the available commands or detailed help information on a specified command.
import	Imports a foreign disk group into the disk group of the local computer.
