    Why are you asking this on a Qt forum?
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    It seems that people are expecting Qt to do everything now rather than just a gui toolkit, and I must admit, it does now do a lot besides gui.

    However, platform specific tasks such as this I don't think will ever be supported.

    You will be dismayed to learn that there is no pretty GUI for this on Windows Vista and that there is no Qt supplied QMakeAWindowsVistaDiskOffline class: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+vista+diskpart
    I am unaware of any way to do this on Windows XP and there is no QMakeAWindowsXPDiskOffline.

    I can tell you are very disappointed with the terrible low-level, Windows-specific disk management support in Qt. I think that you will find some solace in the advice here: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-...ons.html#forum
