what disk tools does Windows 7 have?

[Tim]

I'm about to take ownership of a new pc with Windows 7 64-bit on it. When
setting out my partitions in XP, I used the Recovery Console 'diskpart' and
'format' tools. Does Windows 7 have something similar?

Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Storage, Disk Management

You can do several things from there.

And there are a number of free/cheap disk partitioning programs to do
the things you can't do with Disk Management. I use Partition Wizard.
