<h1>GUI for Diskpart - GUIFD</h1>

<p>
  <h3>Status</h3>
    Yes, the project is still alive!
    I intend to add more features, adding stuff to the wiki and some UI adjustments, before this is considered "done".<br />
    The project was just updated to use the MVP view model.

    Developement started during the 3 weeks of summer break 2023 in the <a href="https://www.school4games.net">School For Games</a>.<br />
    It was just one of these days, were you help a friends friend for 10h, halfway across the globe, fixing their virus infected Laptop,<br />
    when I was so annoyed with Windows on-board disk management tools, that I decided to try something.<br /><br />
    The initial idea was to build a tool, which can format any flash drive, no matter what filesystem is on it.<br />
    In this case, it was a Linux boot stick. Windows can delete it, using Diskpart.<br />
    But explaining the commands via Discord was not that easy and Diskpart syntax is also... lacking.<br />
    So I tried coding a small prototype and tested it on an old PlayStation 4 HDD, which had 15 propietary ext4 partitions on it.<br />
    I was able to delete them with one click, which gave me the idea of making a whole software out of it!<br /><br />
    Also, while developing games sure is a dream, one reason why I picked programming was,<br />
    because I always wanted to be able to develop apps as well!<br /><br />
    This project taught me a lot! I worked on it a few hours a week during school.<br />
    Initialy a summer break project, I am still working on it, when I have free time.<br />
    A lot of the code from earlier stages of developement will probably be replaced at some point. (Update July 2025 - Has been updated) <br /><br />
