Format disk to MBR if it doesn’t contain valid MBR and return first partition device

This function checks if the device contains a valid MBR. If not, it creates a new MBR with a single partition using the full disk size. It then returns a partition device for the first partition.

§Arguments

  • Device - The device to format and get partition from
  • Partition_type - The type of partition to create if formatting is needed
  • Disk_signature - The disk signature to use when creating new MBR (optional, uses random if None)
