Does anyone have a command line FDISK substitue?  I'm trying to write a 
workstation rebuild utility for a computer lab and it needs to run a batch file 
that will delete and recreate the partition, format it, and unzip a file.

The formatting and unzipping I can take care of, but since FDISK requires user 
input, that part can't be automated.  Thus, the user (usually ignorant to the 
intricacies of FDISK) must delte and recreate the partition.

Any information would be appreciated either posted here or sent to 
steven@ucla.edu.  Thanks.
