    partition (`int`_):

       The partition number. Must be a positive integer.
    startSector (`long`_):

       The start sector.
    endSector (`long`_):

    guid (`str`_, optional):

       Globally Unique Identifier of the partition, as defined by the GUID Partition Table (GPT) format. This is available only for GPT formatted disks.
    logical (`bool`_):

       The flag to indicate whether or not the partition is logical. If true, the partition number should be greater than 4.
    attributes (`int`_):

       The attributes on the partition.
    partitionAlignment (`long`_, optional):
