Hi All,

I use PowerShell to format server disk but it keep prompting following message box:

How to disable the message box?

get-disk -number $DiskNumber | New-Partition -DriveLetter $local:Letter -UseMaximumSize |
Format-Volume -NewFileSystemLabel $local:VolumeName -FileSystem NTFS -AllocationUnitSize 65536 –Force -Confirm:$false

Hi,

Please try the New-Volume cmdlet.

Get-Disk -number $DiskNumber | New-Volume -FileSystem NTFS -DriveLetter $local:Letter -FriendlyName $FriendlyName

I tested your script and it disabled the dialog box as expected.

Best Regards,

I have the same problem, except I am setting up more than 1 partition on my disks, and I need to be able to use the Size parameter.

So my commands are basically the same as the question above with one small change:

Clear-Disk -Number:$DiskNumber -RemoveData -RemoveOEM -Confirm:$False

Get-Disk -number $DiskNumber | New-Partition -DriveLetter $DriveLetter1 -Size 1GB | Format-Volume -NewFileSystemLabel $VolumeName1 -FileSystem FAT32

Get-Disk -number $DiskNumber | New-Partition -DriveLetter $DriveLetter2 -UseMaximumSize | Format-Volume -NewFileSystemLabel $VolumeName2 -FileSystem NTFS
