The diskpart utility is used for partitioning internal hard drives but can also format removable media such as flash drives. [4] It has long been possible, theoretically, to partition removable drives – such as flash drives or memory cards – from within Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP; e.g., during system installation.

[7] In Windows NT, SUBST uses DefineDosDevice() to create the disk mappings. The JOIN command is the "opposite" of SUBST, because JOIN will take a drive letter and make it appear as ...

The cd command can be used to change the working directory of the working drive or another lettered drive. Typing the drive letter as a command on its own changes the working drive, e.g. C: ; alternatively, cd with the /d switch may be used to change the working drive and that drive's working directory in one step.
