Edpart.exe is a disk partition editor capable of managing up to four
partitions on PC/XT and AT hard disks. It specifically says "no
copyright", so I figured someone else might like to use it rather than
doing fdisk/diskfix pairs to create partitions.
There's no instruction file and no real on-line help, so here's a
summary:
EDPART.EXE maintains up to four hard disk partitions on either of two
hard drives. If it sees more than one hard drive, it will ask which
one to edit.
The commands are:
CREATE Create hard disk partitions
DELETE Delete hard disk partitions
STATUS Bootable partitions may have the following status:
ACTIVE This partition is the boot partition
READ/WRITE R/W, not the boot partition
Non-bootable partitions (``extensions'') may be any of:
READ/WRITE
READ-ONLY
INACCESSIBLE
TYPE There are four types; for Minix purposes, either "extension"
type will do to my knowledge.
DOS(4) Bootable For DOS 3.x
DOS(4) Extension
DOS(1) Bootable For DOS 2.x
DOS(1) Extension
The "Bootable" partitions are recognized by MS-DOS directly,
so I don't advise using either of them for Minix.
