[A simple combination of comments in response and adding a little]

I also tried using the Get-Disk command on Azure VM Server 2008 R2, I installed PowerShell 3.0 and Get-Disk , which is still unavailable, and then went to this page.

From this link on the Scripting Guy Blog , it’s mentioned that

Note. Windows PowerShell version 3.0 for Windows 7 does not support. At this point, the storage module must be installed, so Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 is required.

So, if you want to use Get-Disk in Windows Server 2008 R2, you cannot.

The same Scripting Guy link also contains the appropriate DiskPart commands that can be used instead.

 From an elevated shell: DiskPart.exe List disk Select disk 1—disk 1 being the USB drive Clean Create partition primary Select partition 1—partition 1 being the new partition Active Format FS=NTFS

Depending on your use case, note that you can also get information on disk in a command shell without using a cmdlet using the Win32_Volume class. For example, you can do the following to change the drive letter:

 $drive = gwmi win32_volume -Filter "DriveLetter = 'F:'" $drive.DriveLetter = "D:" $drive.Put()
