Why each option
To partition a new drive on a Windows server, the diskpart utility is the command-line tool designed for managing disk partitions and volumes.
chkdsk is a Windows command-line utility used to check the file system and file system metadata of a volume for logical and physical errors.
mount is a command used in Linux/Unix-like systems to attach a file system to a specific point in the directory tree, not to partition a disk.
fsck (file system consistency check) is a utility on Unix-like operating systems that checks and repairs a Unix file system, not for partitioning.
diskpart is a command-line utility in Windows that allows administrators to manage disks, partitions, and volumes. It is specifically used for tasks like creating, deleting, formatting, and assigning drive letters to partitions, which is necessary before adding a drive to a software RAID array.
