Question:

You have a new hard drive installed on your Windows desktop, which requires partitioning the drive and formatting the volumes. Which of the following tools would be used in this case?

A Diskmgmt.msc
explanation

After installing a hard drive, partitions must be created (even if there is just one), and the volumes must be formatted before they display in File Explorer and may be used to store data. Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) and diskpart are two extremely useful and powerful tools for this purpose. Disk Management is a user-friendly GUI program, whereas diskpart is a command-line utility. Diskpart is the more powerful of the two, and it's worth investing some time learning how to use it. The Performance Monitor (perfmon.msc) displays real-time resource usage, and the Services console (services.msc) displays all of the services available in the system as well as their current status.
