- XFDisk I Version 0.9.1 Beta EN
- ==============================================================================
- XFDisk is distributed under the GNU Public Licence (GPL). You can get the
- GPL, the latest version of XFDisk, the source code of XFDisk and additional
- help at XFDisks homepage at http://home.paged.de/~xfdisk
-
- Sorry, currently there is only a German documentation availabe.
- BE WARNED that this is still a beta version. Use at your own risk!
- Make a backup of your valuable data before using XFDisk!
-
- For Windows 2000 users: XFDisk is not able to hide any partition for
- Windows 2000, because Windows 2000 does not care for the partition
- type; instead, it analyses the partition directly. If you don't like to see
- all your partitions under Windows 2000, remove the drive letter in the
- system settings (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->
- Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management).
-
- Here is a short description of the command line parameters. They can also
- be stored in the file XFDISK.INI to be used each time XFDisk starts.
- /AUTOHIDE
- XFDisk allows several visible primary partitions per drive. Using this
- parameter XFDisk will only allow one visible primary partition per drive
- and automatically hide additional ones, as in version 0.8.5 and before.
- /SORT
- Partition table entries will be sorted, as in XFDisk up to version 0.8.5.
- Be carefull: Linux and XFDisk partly use these partition numbers.
- /NOWIN9X, /OS2, /WINNT and /LINUX
- Extended partitions that can only be adressed with the extended INT13-
- BIOS functions (i.e. above 8 GB) usually have that partition type 0xF
- instead of 0x5. So DOS/Windows only accesses such partitions using the
- extendes BIOS functions. But obviously OS/2 does not know this partition
- type. So using /NOWIN9X will prevent XFDisk using partition type 0xF.
- Using /OS2, /WINNT or /LINUX will aditionally change the default type
- of new created partitions.
- /MBR
- rewrites the master boot record on the first hard disk
- /NOCOLOR
- black/white
- /BLIND
- special cursor for blind people
- /BUILD
- shows XFDisks build number
