Is there a way to partition, format, and copy files to hard drive without rebooting?

I'm trying to make a boot disk so it can partition, format and copy system files all in one shot. I'm currently using the program AEFDISK. I can create and format the drive with Fat32 but i can not access the drive in dos unless i reboot. Is there any way to get around this?
 
Any change to the partition table requires it to be reread. In dos the dos kernel and command shell have no facility to do this, therefore requiring a reboot. This might be different in some of the latest versions of DOS (post year 2000 versions) but not up to MSDOS 6.2/PCDOS 6.2
