For examples of how this command can be used, see Examples.
Syntax
list {disk|partition|volume}
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
disk |
Displays a list of disks and information about them, such as their size, amount of available free space, whether the disk is a basic or dynamic disk, and whether the disk uses the master boot record (MBR) or GUID partition table (GPT) partition style. |
|
partition |
Displays the partitions listed in the partition table of the current disk. |
|
volume |
Displays a list of basic and dynamic volumes on all disks. |
Remarks
- When listing partitions on a dynamic disk, the partitions may
not correspond to the dynamic volumes on the disk. This discrepancy
occurs because dynamic disks contain entries in the partition table
for the system volume or boot volume (if present on the disk). They
also contain a partition that occupies the remainder of the disk in
order to reserve the space for use by dynamic volumes.
- The disk, partition or volume marked with an asterisk (*) is
the one with focus.
