format an external/internal hard drive using PS on windows. (Diskpart)

diskpart.md

to open diskpart:

PS> diskpart

list disk

it will give you something like this

DISKPART> list disk

  Disk ###  Status         Size     Free     Dyn  Gpt
  --------  -------------  -------  -------  ---  ---
  Disk 0    Online          953 GB  7168 KB        *
  Disk 1    Online         1863 GB      0 B        *
  Disk 2    Online           28 GB      0 B        *

you'll need to carefully select the correct one, Disk 1 in my case (2TB external Hard drive)

select disk 1
clean
create partition primary

optional:

list volume
select volume X      ← (replace X with the number of the new volume, usually the last one)

lastly (you can change the label and the letter)

format fs=ntfs label="ArcLinux" quick
assign letter=D
exit

you don't need to make partition if you want to boot an OS on it
