This will create a
primary partition that is 1500MB in size.
11. Type assign letter=Z and press enter. This assigns the letter Z to this partition.
(You can use whatever drive letter you want; I prefer Z since it is the last usable
drive letter.)

12. Type active and press enter to make this the active partition.
13. Type create partition primary and press enter. This will create a second primary
partition on the hard drive that fills up the remaining available space. Windows
will be installed in this partition. You can also append the size=XXX parameter
to this command if you want to specify the exact size of this partition.
14. Type assign letter=C and press enter. We will assign the letter C to this
partition since Windows is typically installed on the C: drive. (Again, you can
choose whatever drive letter is appropriate to your environment.)
15. Type list volume and press enter. This will list all the available volumes so that
you can make sure the partitions were created successfully and that the correct
drive letter was assigned (Figure 10-4).
16. Type exit and press enter to quit diskpart.
17. Type format C: /q /fs:NTFS and press enter. This will quick format the C: drive
in NTFS format. Press y when prompted to Proceed with Format, and then
enter the Volume label you want for this partition.
