The following tables describe how to set common partition types by using the microsoft-windows-setup-/DiskConfiguration/Disk settings: BIOS/MBR-Based Systems Partition type See the Partition Types section later in this topic. If you assign a letter to the partition, the partition appears in these common lists of devices. Without a drive letter, these partitions do not appear in some common lists of devices, such as in Windows Explorer or in Open or Save file dialog boxes.
Some partition types are not assigned a drive letter by default.
To use these built-in partition types, enter a value in the setting: microsoft-windows-setup-/DiskConfiguration/Disk/CreatePartitions/CreatePartition/ Type.
Use TypeID to manually specify a hard-drive partition type, such as a utility partition type.įive partition types are already built in: primary, extensible firmware interface (EFI), extended, logical, and Microsoft Reserved (MSR).
