jaclaz Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) I guess you cannot format a partition unless you select it. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928543/en-ushttp://www.ss64.com/nt/diskpart.htmlMaybe you miss lines:select partition nOr maybe you still have the first partition "in focus" when you try to create the second, and you need another "select disk 0"....Rule of the thumb whenever a script does not work is to try the commands in it one by one manually, so that you can see which one throws the error....jaclaz Edited November 28, 2008 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksimoon Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) hello jaclaz as you mentioned i used diskpart command in a virtual machine in at winpe and here is the strange result.i used the below command in turn and succesfully.sel disk 0cleancre par pri size=10000activeassign letter= Wit seems that when i wanted to assign letter C it give me error i speak of above (directory is not empty). bu if i assign any other letter except for C, it is assigned succesfully. meanwhile in order to see if letter C is in use or not i use list volume command but C is not in use i am confused anybody help me ?

TheReasonIFail Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) From the error I see, it seems you're already at a C:\ prompt.It seems that the problem is that the C letter is already assigned to a drive.

darksimoon Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 hi TheReasonIFaili have checked the letters by list volume but it wasnt assigned. just a moment... yes you are right ! i am in C:\ prompt but when i list the volumes i cannot see the letter C. but why ? if C was ram drive i would understand but its not. so can you tell me where the letter C is assigned to ?

TheReasonIFail Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's possible that the drive existed when you navigated to it through the command prompt.Try changing to another drive letter so you're not at a c:\ prompt and try again.
