I know it doesn't create partitions. Though it will allow you to format a created partition.
Unfortunately I don't know of any api to create or delete partitions. Though there surely is one. I just need to find it.

Hello Andrew!
AFAICS, the page you mentioned below discusses the creation of file systems and how to check them. It does not discuss the creation of partitions.
Regards, Eric

I have stumbled across this documentation http://doc.sch130.nsc.ru/www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/fmifs.shtml.
What it contains discusses how partitions are created. The very cool thing is that by using FMIFS in the installer means that you can delete,create and resize all the partitions that the disk manager supports. This means it will make it a lot easier to add support to both without duplicating efforts.(windows vista+ has resizing xp doesn't seem to though)
The current text installer doesn't use this as this part of reactos code is incomplete.
I would like to add this to my gsoc proposal. Though I know I'm probably not going to get a place it may help me if I get a chance to do it in the future or maybe this could give ideas to someone else who tries.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
