  Super Fdisk is a driven disk partitioning utility.;
With Super Fdisk you can:;;
     - Create primary, extended and logical partitions;
     - Delete primary, extended and logical partitions;
     - Format FAT partitions;
     - Hide and unhide FAT, NTFS/HPFS, EXT2, EXT3, SWAP partitions;
     - Activate/deactivate a partition;
     - Show the partition table;
     - Show characteristics of harddisks;
     - Erase MBR for a harddisk;
     - Backup or Restore the MBR, Partition Table, Boot sector;
     - and more...;;

     Flexible and Comfortable Graphics User Interface.;;

     Super Fdisk supports all partition types. The original FDISK;
     program doesn't allow you to create more than one primary;
     partition. Super Fdisk does, therefore it's a powerful tool;
     for creating any combinations of partitions. This can be;
     extremely useful for system administrators and OS deployment.
                                       ?               ?                      Notes for Using And Running:;;  You'd better run Super Fdisk under pure MS DOS environment,;
because partition operations are independent of operating systems;
and they are very 'low level', some function such as;
 'Create Partition', 'Format Partition', 'Delete and Secure Erase';
can only run under pure MS DOS environment.;;
  Of course, you can run Super Fdisk under the MS DOS prompted;
window in WINDOWS 9x or WINDOWS ME. To execute Super Fdisk,;
just type 'sdisk' at MS DOS command prompt or double click;
sdisk.exe by mouse in the path of Super Fdisk. Also you can;
use mouse to choose 'Create Emergency Disk' from 'General';
menu to run Super Fdisk under pure MS DOS environment.;;
  When restore partition table to harddisk, the master boot;
sector will be overwritten. So you need 'Disable' the 'Anti-Virus';
option in BIOS setup.;;
  When running, the partitions circumstantially will be Displayed;
by chart and tables. The cylinder diagram on the top displays;
the positions of all the allocated partitions.;;
  The type and other detail parameters of partitions are listed;
in a table on the middle of screen. About the meanings of these;
parameters,please refer to 'About Partition Table' in Help;
files.;;
  Before operating on a partition you must select it first. To;
Select a partition, just click the partition in the diagram or;
in the table. And also you can use Up or Down key to select.;;
  In order to prevent mistakes, all operations except 'Create;
Partition','Format Partition', 'Delete Partition' are not written;
to harddisk immediately. They are saved in memory buffer;
instead.;;
  When completed and there is no error, you can send out an;
'apply' command by CtrL+S key or select 'Save' on menu 'General'.;
Then Super Fdisk will write all your operations to harddisk;
one-off.;

noticeable when using the Super Fdisk:;;
More details see Problems with Hardware;;;
Ask:;
Does Super Fdisk support all the operating systems / file systems?;;
Answer:;
Yes, Super Fdisk functions independently from the operating;
or file systems! A few operating systems, however, have some;
limitations, which need to be observed when using the Super Fdisk:;;
More details see Problems with operating systems / file systems;;;
Ask:;
Is it possible for Super Fdisk to manage one operating;
system(s) together with another operating system(s)?;;
Answer:;
Yes, the Super Fdisk can manage individual operating systems;
separately. Therefore, each individual operating system works;
with other operating system.;;;
Ask:;
I worked under WINDOWS NT/2000/XP, how can I use Super Fdisk?;;
Answer:;
Run sdisk.exe under WINDOWS NT/2000/XP, and insert an empty floppy;
to drive A, then 'Create Emergency Disk', at last run scopy.bat.;;;
Ask:;
I want to find my lost partitions, could Super Fdisk help me?;;
Answer:;
Another product of our company Partition Table Doctor could help you;
recover lost partitions.;
More details see http://www.ptdd.com/recoverylostpartition.htm.;;;
Ask:;
One of partitions on hard disk is marked with 'X', what does it mean?;;
Answer:;
If boot sector of one Fat16/Fat32/Ntfs partition was corrupt, it;
will be marked with 'X' by Super Fdisk. Our company another product;
Partition Table Doctor can repair boot sector of the partition.;
More details see http://www.ptdd.com/fixboot.htm.;;;
Ask:;
What's the difference between 'Delete' and 'Delete And Secure Erase'?;;
Answer:;
Use Delete to remove a partition from a hard disk. While the data;
within the partition continue to reside on the hard disk, it can;
only be made accessible by the Undelete partition tool. ( e.g.;
Partition Table Doctor );
If you prefer to remove a partition from a hard disk and destroy all;
the data, you can use the Delete and Secure Erase option. Once a;
partition has been securely erased, it cannot be brought back using;
the Undelete partition tool.;;;

Problem with Hardware:;;;
Problem:;;
  Error: The BIOS cannot support Interrupt 13 Extensions;;
Solution:;;
  Firmware Update to version 1.23 or higher;;;
Problem:;;
  BIOS with Anti-Virus Options (Almost All BIOS);;
Solution:;;
  You should 'Disable' the 'Anti Virus' option in BIOS setup.;;
Problem:;;
  Cannot write to hard disk under pure MSDOS or Freedos.;;
Solution:;;
  You should 'Disable' the 'Anti Virus' option in BIOS setup.;;
Problem:;;
  Size of hard disk displayed by Super Fdisk is different from;
the real size of hard disk.;;
Solution:;;
  You should enter CMOS and Run HDD IDE AUTO DETECTION to setup;
the hard disk.;;
Problem:;;
  Warning after a program trying to modify the master boot record.;
This is most likely a virus.;;
Solution:;;
  This might be a message from an anti-virus program: The Super;
Fdisk modifies the master boot record. That is the reason why;
some anti-virus programs erroneously report this as a virus. Please;
permit the modification if you want Super Fdisk to modify the partition;
table.;;;;
Problem with Software:;;;
Problem:;;
  Error: cannot allocate more memory;;
  Program is too big to fit in memory;;
Solution:;;
  Restart computer and use Super Fdisk;;;
Problem:;;
  Cannot use mouse under pure MSDOS or Freedos.;;
Solution:;;
  Edit config.sys and autoexec.bat. Here are examples in the path of;
Super Fdisk installation(e.g., c:\sdisk\Win98 and c:\sdisk\Dos6.22). But;
we recommend if you want to run Super Fdisk under pure MSDOS, you'd;
better use 'Emergency Disk'. Also you could run ctmouse.exe under;
pure MSDOS before running Super Fdisk.;;;
Problem with Operating systems:;;;
Problem:;;
  The Super Fdisk cannot run under Windows NT/2000/XP;;
Solution:;;
  You can run sdisk.exe to create emergency disk under Windows NT/2000;

Exit:;;
 Press 'Alt+F4' key or select 'Exit' from menu 'General' . If you have;
done any operations to partition, Super Fdisk will automatically;
detect the modification, but we recommend that you save modification;
before exit if you want to. After saving modification, you should;
reboot immediately. If you run Super Fdisk under MS DOS, Super Fdisk;
will reboot immediately. If you run Super Fdisk under WINDOWS 9x or;
WINDOWS ME, you must choose Start->Close system to reboot computer;
immediately.;;

Create partition:;;
  The Create operation lets you create primary partitions, extended;
partitions, and logical partitions. On a single hard disk, you can;
have up to four primary partitions or three primary partitions and;
one extended partition. Within an extended partition, you can create;
unlimited additional subdivisions called logical partitions.;;
  Creating a new partition can make your drive letters change,;
causing applications not to run because application shortcuts,;
initialization files, and registry entries refer to incorrect drives.;;
  STEPS TO CREATE A PARTITION;;
  If you have multiple hard disks and partitions, the process and;
available options may differ slightly from the following steps.;;
To create a partition:;;
1. From the Harddisks drop-down list, select the disk where you want;
to create the new partition.;;
2. On the disk map, select a block of free space. If no free space;
exists, you must resize or delete an existing partition to create;
free space.;;
3. Click PARTITION > CREATE on the menu bar. The CREATE PARTITION;
dialog appears.;;
4. In the Type box, click LOGICAL PARTITION or PRIMARY PARTITION.;
If you select LOGICAL PARTITION, Super Fdisk will automatically;
create an extended partition to enclose the logical partition, or;
if you have already had an extended partition, resize the extended;
partition larger to encompass the logical partition (the free space;
must be inside of or adjacent to the extended partition).;;
If LOGICAL PARTITION is unavailable, you may already have had four;
primary partitions on the hard disk. Or, if you have an extended,;
partition you may not have selected a block of free space inside of;
or adjacent to the extended partition.;;
5. From the System drop-down list, select the desired file system;
type:;;
- FAT is the most common file system type. It is used by DOS and all;
versions of Windows.;;
- FAT32 is used by Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2, Windows 98/Me,;
and Windows 2000/XP.;;
- EXTEND creates an extended partition which can contain any number;
of logical partitions. EXTEND is not an option if the hard disk has;
already contained an extended partition or four primary partitions.;;
- UNFORMATTED creates unformatted free space on your hard drive.;;
6. If you want to, enter a label (up to 11 alphanumeric characters);
for the new partition.;;
Descriptive labels help remind you what is stored in a partition (for;
example, DATA, APPS, WIN95, etc.).;;
If you choose EXTEND or UNFORMATTED from the System drop-down list,;
label is of no effect.;;
7. In the SIZE box, enter the desired size for the partition.;;
Super Fdisk automatically calculates a recommended size (based on the;
most efficient use of disk space), which you can accept or change.;;
8. Click OK.;;
NOTE: If you are running Windows NT/2000/XP, type or select the drive;
letter you want to assign to the partition in the DRIVE LETTER box.;
An exception is Windows NT/2000/XP which can handle multiple primary;
active partitions.;;
When the computer restarts, the operating system assigns the new;
partition a drive letter.;;;;
DELETE Partition:;;
Use Delete to remove a partition from a hard disk. While the data;
within the partition continue to reside on the hard disk, it can;
only be made accessible by the Undelete partition tool. ( e.g.;
Partition Table Doctor );
If you prefer to remove a partition from a hard disk and destroy all;
the data, you can use the Delete and Secure Erase option. Once a;
partition has been securely erased, it cannot be brought back using;
the Undelete partition tool.;;
Note: The delete operations may change drive letter assignments.;;
STEPS TO DELETE A PARTITION;;
1. From the Harddisks drop-down list, select the disk with the;
partition you want to delete.;;
2. On the disk map, select the partition you want to delete and;
click PARTITION > DELETE on the menu bar.;;
3. Click Delete or Delete and Secure Erase.;;
4. Click OK.;;;;
FORMAT Partition:;;
The FORMAT operation formats a partition, destroying all its data in;
the process. Formatting enables you to put a different file system on;
a partition.;;
To format a partition:;;
1. From the Harddisks drop-down list, select the disk with the;
partition you want to format.;;
2. On the disk map, select the partition you want to format and click;
PARTITION > FORMAT on the menu bar. The FORMAT PARTITION dialog;
appears.;;
3. From the System drop-down list, select the desired file;
system type.;;
NOTE:  If the partition is too small or too large, some System may not;
be available.;;
4. If you want, type a label for the partition.;;
5. Click OK.;;;;
Active partition:;;
  Right click the partition you want to activate and choose 'Active'.;
Only one Primary partition must be activated. Logic partition also;
could be activated. To unactivate one logic partition, Right click;
the logic partition and choose 'Unactive'.;;;;
Hide partition:;;
  Right click the partition you want to hide and choose 'hide'.;
To unhide it, Right click the partition and choose 'Unhide'. Hide;
partition support FAT16/FAT32/NTFS/Linux ext2/Linux swap file system.;;;;
Check properties:;; 
  Super Fdisk will automatically check all parameters when;
loading or updating partition table. To check it manually, just press;
'F5' key or select 'Check properties' from 'Partition' menu.;;;;
Surface test:;; 
  Right click the partition you want to surface test and choose; 
'Surface test'. This function is used for checking bad sectors on;
one partition. It checks partitions not by 'clusters' and it doesn't;
label out the bad sectors on one partition. Super Fdisk will check;
every sector and display  when it finds a bad track (head).;
While completed, a bad sectors list file 'surface.txt' will be created.

Backup partition table:;;
  In order to backup your partition table to a file, press 'F1' key;
or select 'Backup partition table' from 'Operations' menu, then enter;
the file name you want backup to.;;;;
Restore partition table:;;
  To restore the partition table from a backup file, press 'F2' key;
or select 'Restore partition table' from 'Operations' menu, then enter;
the file name you want to restore to harddisk. There are two choices:;
'Disk'restore file directly to harddisk. Warning: This operations could;
not be recovery !;;
  If you are not sure about your backup file, we strongly suggest;
you choose 'VirtualDisk' choice , which uses memory instead. So you;
can confirm that the partition table is just what you want and apply;
the partition table by press 'Ctrl+S' key or select 'Save' from;
'General'menu later. If you choose 'VirtualDisk', boot sector of each;
partition will not be written!;;;;
Erase MBR (Master Boot Record):;;
  Use this function to manually Erase the master boot record (located;
on cylinder 0, head 0 and sector 1) and you can create new partitions;
on the hard disk.;;
  Warning: This operation will delete all partitions on the hard disk.;
While the data within the partition continue to reside on the hard;
disk, it can only be made accessible by the Undelete partition tool.;
( e.g. Partition Table Doctor ).

active partition:;;
  One primary partition (usually on the first hard disk) is marked;
'active,' meaning it is the partition from which an operating system;
will be booted when the computer starts up.;;;
boot sector:;;
  The first sector of a hard-disk partition. If the partition is;
bootable, the boot sector contains a boot record, and the code which;
is used to boot the operating system installed on that partition.;;;
disk map:;;
  The section of the Super Fdisk main window that graphically displays;
a selected hard disk's partition information. The disk map, shows the;
partitions to scale approximately. Each partition is represented by a;
different color according to the file system it uses.;;;
drive letter:;;
  A single character in the range A to Z that identifies a partition;
or logical drive for use by an operating system. Not all partitions or;
logical drives are accessible by all operating systems. Also, the;
drive letters that assigned by different operating systems to the;
same partition or logical drive may not be the same.;;;
extended partition:;;
  An extended partition is a special kind of primary partition that;
was developed to overcome the four partition limit. The extended;
partition is a container inside of which you can create logical;
partitions. The extended partition itself does not hold any data, nor;
is it assigned a drive letter. But logical partitions inside the;
extended partition can hold applications and data and are assigned;
drive letters.;;;
Free space:;;
  A section of your hard disk that is not currently assigned to a;
partition. Free space is not recognized by the operating system.;
Usually,you do not want free space because that section of your;
hard disk will not be used. You can either resize a partition larger;
to incorporate free space or create a new partition in the free space.;;;
label:;;
  The name that you give to a volume or partition.;;;
MBR (Master Boot Record):;;
  The master boot record is contained in the first sector of the first;
physical hard disk. The MBR consists of a master boot program and a;
partition table that describes the disk partitions. The master boot;
program looks for the partition table to see which primary partition;
is active. It then starts the boot program from the boot sector of the;
active partition.;;;
partition list:;;
  The section of the Super Fdisk main window that displays a selected;
hard disk's partition information in text form. The partition list,;
displays the following information about each partition: drive letter,;
volume label, file system type, size, status.;;;
primary partition:;;
  A partition referenced in the master boot record (MBR) partition;
table.Only four primary partitions can exist on a hard disk. One of;
these may be an extended partition. Only one primary partition on;
a drive may be active at a time. When one primary partition is;
active, the other primary partitions are typically not accessible.;
Data and programs are often placed on a logical partition inside;
an extended partition. This enables the data to be accessed by;
all primary partitions.

  Partition can be considered as a piece of disk space, which is ;
marked thereby runs on some operating system. Partition table is;
located at the first sector (cylinder 0, head 0 and sector 1) of;
each hard disk. It memorizes information about sizes and locations;
of partitions on hard disk. The partition information is started on;
offset 1BEH of master boot sector. Each partition entry is 16 bytes ;
long.The total partition table is 64 bytes long. Then partition table;
is limited to a maximum of 4 entries. That is, there is a maximum of;
4 partitions, which is called primary partition and can be created on;
hard disk.;;
  But there are problems: many people want to create more than 4 ;
partitions. So the extended partition is designed for this demand.;
Master extended partition is the primary partition. Differing from ;
other partitions,the first sector of extended partition is not a boot ;
sector, but another partition table, which is called logical partition;
table.;;
  Commonly, there are only two partition entries in logical partition ;
table. One points to a partition, called logical partition, whose;
boundary must be limited to the extended partition. The other entry, ;
if needed,of the extended partition table points to the next logical ;
partition table. Similarly, its boundary is limited to its parents ;
extended partition. And the next logical partition table may also have;
two partition entries: ;
one points to a logical partition the other points to another logical ;
partition table and the rest may be deduced by analogy. Therefore, ;
many partitions could be created in extended partition.;;
  Now let us have a look on the layout of a partition entry.;
  The 16 bytes of one entry are as follows:;;

  OFFSET BYTE DESCRIPTION;;
  0      1    Boot label. Tells computer to boot from this partition;;
  1      1    Starting head;;
  2      1    Lower 6 bits(bit 0 to bit 5) is starting sector.;
  Higher 2 bits(bit 6 to bit 7) is the higher bits of starting cylinder;;
  3      1    The lower 8 bits of starting cylinder;;
  4      1    Partition type;;
  5      1    Ending head;;
  6      1    Lower 6 bits(bit 0 to bit 5) is ending sector.;
  Higher 2 bits(bit 6 to bit 7) is the higher bits of ending cylinder;;
  7      1    The lower 8 bits of ending cylinder;;
  8      4    Leading sectors of this partition;;
  12     4    Number of sectors of this partition;;

a) Boot label (offset 0):;;
  Most disks have one primary partition, but some people want to have;
more than one operating system on their computers. Therefore, they;
have to create other primary partitions. In order to tell the computer;
which operating system is ready to boot from, one 'Active' partition is;
needed.That's why partition table always keeps an indicator of the;
currently 'Active' partition - the one from which the computer boots.;
In Super Fdisk, the active partition is figured out by 'Active' with;
'Yes'.;;
b) Starting position (offset 1-3):;;
  Describes the partition's starting position, the cylinder, the head;
and the sector. Also called starting CHS.;;
  starting head = (OFFSET 1);;
  starting sector = (OFFSET 2) & 0x3f;;
  starting cylinder = (((OFFSET 2) & 0xc0)<<2)|(OFFSET 3);;
c) Partition type (offset 4):;;
  Indicates what file system is in the partition. For example, 06 or;
0E indicates a FAT file system. 0B or 0C indicates a FAT32 file;
system. 07 indicates NTFS or OS/2 HPFS file system.;;
d) Ending position (offset 5-7):;;
  Describes the partition's ending position, the cylinder, the head;
and the sector. Also called ending CHS.;;
e) Leading sectors (offset 8-11):;;
  The number of sectors before this partition. If we count all sectors;
on hard disk sequentially from zero, this field will exactly point to;
the first sector of this partition.;;
f) Number of sectors (offset 12-15):;;
  The total number of sectors on this partition. So the size of this;
partition will be (Number of sectors)*512/1048576 MB.                          Liability / Warranty:;;;;
  If this program is used improperly, it may result in the;
irretrievable destruction of all data on your harddisk!;;
  It is thus absolutely necessary to create a backup before using;
the Super Fdisk. According to the ruling by the district court;
Konstanz 1 S 292/95 from May 10 1997, daily data backup is ;
reasonable and can be expected!;;
  Thus, any responsibility or liability for any losses or damages is;
not accepted! UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES!;;
