From: Walter on 8 Dec 2009 04:28 Hi, When you create a logical partition inside an extended partition (e.g. using diskpart) on Windows 7 the following german message box will be displayed, which looks like:: „Sie müssen den Datenträger in Laufwerk E: formatieren, bevor Sie ihn verwenden können. Möchten Sie ihn formatieren?“ Approx. Translation: "Sie müssen den Datenträger in Laufwerk E: formatieren, bevor Sie ihn verwenden können." = "You must format the volume in drive E: before you can use it" "Möchten Sie ihn formatieren?" = "Do you want to format it?" Questions: Is there a way to suppress this message box? Is there a method to programmatically create a partition that does not pop up message boxes?

From: Walter on 14 Dec 2009 10:16 Hi Kerem, we also use the partitioning method (IOCTL) that your posting refers to (or at least it seems so, I cannot see any relevant differences). The problem (that an unwanted dialog is bothering the user) only exists since Windows 7 (and seems to be independent from the partitioning method one chooses). Have you actually tried it on Windows 7 to create an extended (!) partition and not seen the warning dialog?
