Diskpart with CMD

[BASHparallel]

Hi,

So when running CMD with Wine (either with

Code: Select all

wine cmd

or

Code: Select all

wineconsole

), it says that

Code: Select all

Diskpart

(and

Code: Select all

diskpart

—tried that too) isn't a recognised command.

Code: Select all

Can't recognise 'Diskpart' as an internal or external command, or batch script.

On Windows, this is a partition manager and can wipe storage devices etc. It comes pre-installed with Windows. Also, I should note that I just installed Wine so this might be a nooby question, but how would I go about installing Diskpart on Wine?

Using vanilla Ubuntu 16.04, stable branch of WineHQ (and latest version).

Thank you in advance!

Disk partitioning requires root privileges. Even if you could install it in Wine, it would never work when run as a normal user, and you should never run Wine as root. Plus, a Windows tool is unlikely to understand native *nix file formats.

Use a native partition editor like GParted.
