Hi

I use the script below to format a secondary drive, I am using the script below ( it basically checks for the required disk size and attempts to format it. If the disk exists already the partition is deleted and recreated ( sort of a reset function if my device is re configured )

Despite using the -Confirm:$false parameters I am still getting pop messages asking for confirmation. I am using Windows 10 IOT LTSC 2021. The process for setting the drive needs to be automated so confirmation boxes won’t work for me. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

DD = get-disk |Where {$_.size -lt “35GB”}

$Part = $DD |Get-Partition
$Part |Remove-Partition -Confirm:$false
if ($DD.PartitionStyle -ne “GPT” -or $DD.PartitionStyle -ne “GPT” )
{Write-host “Disk not initialized.
Initializing” -for Yellow
$DD |Initialize-Disk -PartitionStyle GPT
}

if ($DD.PartitionStyle -eq “MBR”)
{
Write-Host “Partition style is MBR
Setting Partition Style to GPT” -Fore Yellow
$dd |Set-Disk -PartitionStyle GPT
}

$DD | New-Partition -UseMaximumSize -DriveLetter d

Format-Volume -DriveLetter d -FileSystem NTFS -NewFileSystemLabel “Backup” -Confirm:$false

MD d:Backup
