F I L E D I S K
Hello folks , wellcome to FILEDISK V1.03!
You are annoyed about spending 2 KBytes of Clustersize or more for small
files? Then Filedisk will be usefull for you. It creates a 'Disk' with a
Clustersize of 512 BYTES up to 8 MegaByte. You are able to create as many
Filedisks as you want on your Harddisk. FileDisk is testet from DOS 2.11
up to DOS 3.20. Programms like Diskoptimizers don't work on this Drives,
I'm afraid. (Maybe there is one, I didn't find any). Also CHKDSK doesn't
run. f your last Drive is C, so your first Filedisk will be D, the next E,
aso... It is simple to use and I will not do a bid Documentation here. I
use FileDisk on a IBM XT clone beyond DOS 3.20. I'm running a BBS.
(SEAdog/Opus). It works fine. You are able to do your backups with
FASTBACK(tm). It will also write 512Bytes back! Be carefull! Backup your
harddisk first! Run Chkdsk. Be shure, you have enough Megabytes free on
your Disk, to create Filedisks. Best guess is formatting your harddisk
new, and then frestore with Fastback. Best guess is using 2 Filedisks a 8
MByte on a 22 Mb harddisk. So, all again in single steps :
run CHKDSK /F
backup your Harddisk (!)
Format your Harddisk
run FILEFORM C (if your harddisk is C)
copy FILEDISK.SYS to your Root Directory
include in Config.Sys DEVICE=FILEDISK.SYS
reboot your System and restore your files on D (or E, etc..)
DONE!
I hope I left no urgent information here. There is not any warranty in use
of this program. It is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN and you may give it to your
friends, BUT DON`T MAKE MONEY WITH IT !!
