Syntax: set id={BYTE> | <GUID>} [OVERRIDE] [NOERR]

Change the partition type. Intended for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) use only. A partition must be selected for this operation to succeed.


ID={<BYTE> | <GUID>}


Specifies the new partition type. For master boot record (MBR) disks, you can specify a partition type byte, in hexadecimal form, for the partition. Any partition type byte can be specified with this parameter except for type 42 (LDM partition).


For GUID partition table (GPT) disks you can specify a partition type GUID for the partition.


OVERRIDE


Enables DiskPart to force the volume to dismount first if necessary. All opened handles to the volume will become invalid.


NOERR


For scripting only. When an error is encountered, DiskPart continues to process commands as if the error did not occur. Without the NOERR parameter, an error causes DiskPart to exit with an error code.


Caution: Changing partition type fields with this parameter might cause your computer to fail or be unable to start up. Unless you are an OEM or an IT professional experienced with GPT disks, do not change partition type fields on GPT disks using this parameter. Instead, always use the CREATE PARTITION EFI command to create EFI System partitions, the CREATE PARTITION MSR command to create Microsoft Reserved partitions, and the CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY command without the ID parameter to create primary partitions on GPT disks.


This command does not work on dynamic disks nor on Microsoft Reserved partitions.


Example:


SET ID=07 OVERRIDE
