    Hi,

    Which langue do you use to develop this program? Visual Basic or C#?

    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage issue of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System and Visual Studio Editor. Please provide us detailed information, we will check whether we can move this thread for better response.

    That looks suspiciously like you are trying to format someone's hard drive without their permission.

    It is part of a deployment program, I am trying to develop a easy to use deployment system that will allow a user to deploy a custom image that they have created onto their computer without having to be a Microsoft expert. A format command is necessary to clean the drive ready for the dism command.
