Do we really need a free command line partition manager?
To make all the things on your hard disk well organized, you will need a partition
manager tool for flexibly partitioning, optimizing and managing your computer. No
matter whether you want to partition your hard drive for Windows installation,
allocate free disk space, resize
partition, or change file system of a partition or partition table, you can
use a Windows partition manager DiskPart.exe to deal with it.
We want to use command line. Although operating a command line interface more
difficult than a GUI, for more efficient to handle multi-task, some users would use
command line rather than open many windows. Users only need to execute a few lines
of command by utilizing their keyboards to control over both the file and operating
systems.
Compared with using GUI, using command line to operate takes much less resources of
computer system. Additionally, some tasks can only be performed by using command
line. For example, you cannot delete recovery
partition with Disk Management for it prevents users inadvertently applying
actions leading to data loss, but you can use diskpart to do it. Therefore, users
may be looking for a command prompt partition manager.
How to use DiskPart in Windows 10/8/7?
You need to open an elevated command prompt. To do that, you can type “diskpart” in
the Search box, and right-click on the result diskpart.exe and then select Run as
administrator.
If you are not familiar with diskpart, you can type “help” to see all the available
commands. For example, to extend system partition using DiskPart, you can use the
commands below.
List disk
Select disk 0
List partition
Select partition 2
Extend

Then all the unallocated space behind partition 2 will be added into partition 2. If
there is no unallocated space behind it, then diskpart
cannot extend partition. In that case, you can delete partition using
DiskPart behind to generate unallocated space.
Diskpart can also help you convert MBR to GPT disk. To do that, you need to use DiskPart clean command to delete all
partitions on the hard drive, and then type “convert gpt”. If you want to manage
partitions in an easier way without data loss, you can use command line partition
manager software.
