Disk with Number '2' is already initialized with partition style '' but 'MBR' is required.

I am trying to initialize the disk in AWS. Here is the verbose log:

Here is the DSC:

            WaitForDisk Disk2
            {
                 DiskId = 1
                 RetryIntervalSec = 30
                 RetryCount = 5
            }
    
            Disk VolumeD
            {
                 DiskId = 2
                 DriveLetter = 'D'
                 FSLabel = 'Data'
                 AllowDestructive = 1
                 ClearDisk  = 1
                 PartitionStyle = 'MBR'
                 FSFormat = 'NTFS'
                 DependsOn = '[WaitForDisk]Disk2'
            }

It doesn't matter if I set MBR or GPT. It doesn't do anything with ClearDisk /AllowDestructive

Thank you.

Found it. This happens with DiskID = 2, when I don't have such disk ID. Still, it would be useful to check if the disk exists and throw a more meaningful message.

Thank you.
