-
-
-
- FreeDOS FDISK interactive user interface switches:

-
- Description of FreeDOS FDISK compatibility switches:
-
- /ACTOK Normally skips integrity checking...kept for compatibility.
- /CMBR Writes the MBR to <drive#>.
- /EXT Creates an Extended DOS Partition of <size>MB on <drive#>. /LOG
- creates a logical drive of <size>MB. /LOGO will force the
- creation of a FAT16 logical drive of <size>MB.
- /FPRMT Prompts for FAT32/FAT16 in interactive mode.
- /MBR Writes the MBR to the first hard disk.
- /PRI Creates a partition of <size>MB on <drive#>.
- /PRIO Creates a FAT16 partition of <size>MB on <drive#>.
- /Q Keeps the system from rebooting after you exit FreeDOS FDISK.
- (Note: FreeDOS FDISK will not reboot after you exit unless
- rebooting is enabled in the "fdisk.ini" file.)
- /STATUS Displays the current partition layout.
- /X Do not use LBA partitions.
-
-
-
- Description of FreeDOS FDISK extended switches:
-
- For partition table modification:
- /AUTO Automatically partitions the hard disk with FAT16 partitions.
- /ACTIVATE
- Sets <partition#> active.
- /CLEAR Erases the partition tables. USE WITH CAUTION!
- /CLEARALL
- Erases the partition tables and MBR. USE WITH CAUTION!
- /DELETE Deletes a partition.
- /DEACTIVATE
- Removes the active status from a partition on <drive#>.
- /EXT Same as /EXT above, except ",100" will indicate that <size>
- is a percentage and "/SPEC" will specify the partition
- <type#>. /LOGO will force FreeDOS FDISK to not use FAT32
- partitions.
- /LOG Same as /LOG above, except for the addition of extra
- functionallity. See /EXT, above, for more information.
- /LOGO Same as /LOGO above, except for the addition of extra
- functionallity.
- /MODIFY Changes the partition type of <partition#> to <newtype#>.
- Note: The starting <partition#> for logical partitions
- is "5".
- /MOVE Moves the entry, in the primary partition table, from
- <source_partition#> to <dest_partition#>.
- /PRI Same as /PRI above, except for the addition of extra
- functionallity. See /EXT, above, for more information.
- /PRIO Same as /PRIO above, except for the addition of extra
- functionallity. See /EXT, above, for more information.
- /SWAP Swaps the 2 partition entries, <first_partition#> and
- <second_partition#).
-
- For MBR modification:
- /AMBR Writes the MBR stored in the "boot.mbr" file.
- /MBR Writes the MBR to <drive#>.
- /RMBR Removes the MBR from <drive#>.
- /SMBR Saves the MBR, on <drive#>, into a "boot.mbr" file.
-
- For handling flags on a hard disk:
- /CLEARFLAG
- Resets the <flag#> or all the flags on <drive#> to 0.
- /SETFLAG
- Sets <flag#> to 1 or <flag_value>, if specified.
- /TESTFLAG:
- Tests <flag#> for 1 or <flag_value>, if specified.
-
- For obtaining information about the hard disk(s):
- /DUMP Dumps all partition information from all hard disks. This
- function is mainly used for debugging by redirecting the
- output to a file.
- /INFO Displays partition information from <drive#>
-
- For rebooting the computer:
- /REBOOT Forces a reboot.
-
- Interactive user interface switches:
