RE: Using WMI/WQL to partition unpartitioned disks on x64 Windows

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Just as an update:

I've figured out that you can determine the disks that contain no partitions
by running the WQL query: "select * from Win32_DiskDrive where partitions=0".

Now, I just need to figure out how to partition with align=64, convert to
gpt, mount, and format them.
