function Initialize-PSDCVhdDisk {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Initialize-PSDCVhdDisk initialized the VHD
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Initialize-PSDCVhdDisk will initialize the VHD.
        It mounts the disk, creates a volume, creates the partition and sets it to active
 
    .PARAMETER Path
        The path to the VHD
 
    .PARAMETER Credential
        Allows you to use credentials for creating items in other locations To use:
 
        $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -Credential parameter.
 
    .PARAMETER PartitionStyle
        A partition can either be initialized as MBR or as GPT. GPT is the default.
 
    .PARAMETER AllocationUnitSize
        Set the allocation unit size for the disk.
        By default it's 64 KB because that's what SQL Server tends to write most of the time.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
