can be obtained from the output of the MAP command, for example:
\Device\HardDisk0.

partition, for example D:

- <partition_name>: The partition-based name for deleting an existing
partition and can be used in place of the drive name argument, for

NOTE: If no arguments are used, a user interface for managing your
partitions is displayed.

WARNING: This command can damage your partition table if the disk has been
upgraded to a dynamic disk configuration. Do not modify the structure of
dynamic disks unless you are using the Disk Management tool.
