Written By: Brian E. Reifsnyder
Syntax:
FDISK Runs FreeDOS FDISK in interactive mode.
FDISK /? [/NOPAUSE] Displays this help information.
FreeDOS FDISK compatibility switches:
FDISK /ACTOK
FDISK /CMBR <drive#>
FDISK /EXT:<size> <drive#> [{/LOG:<size>} | {/LOGO:<size>}]
FDISK /FPRMT
FDISK /MBR
FDISK /PRI:<size> <drive#>
FDISK /PRIO:<size> <drive#>
FDISK /Q
FDISK /STATUS
FDISK /X
FreeDOS FDISK extended switches:
For partition table modification:
FDISK /AUTO [<drive#>]
FDISK /ACTIVATE:<partition#> [<drive#>]
FDISK /CLEAR [<drive#>]
FDISK /CLEARALL [<drive#>]
FDISK /DELETE {/PRI | /EXT | /LOG:<partition#>
| /NUM:<partition#>} [<drive#>]
FDISK /DEACTIVATE [<drive#>]
FDISK /EXT:<size>[,100]
[ {/LOG:<size>[,100] [/SPEC:<type#>]}
| {/LOGO:<size>[,100] [/SPEC:<type#>]} ] [<drive#>]
FDISK /LOG:<size>[,100] [/SPEC:<type#>] [<drive#>]
FDISK /LOGO:<size>[,100] [/SPEC:<type#>] [<drive#>]
FDISK /MODIFY:<partition#>,<newtype#> [<drive#>]
FDISK /MOVE:<source_partition#>,<dest_partition#> [<drive#>]
FDISK /PRI:<size>[,100] [/SPEC:<type#>] [<drive#>]
FDISK /PRIO:<size>[,100] [/SPEC:<type#>] [<drive#>]
FDISK /SWAP:<first_partition#>,<second_partition#> [<drive#>]
For MBR modification:
FDISK /AMBR [<drive#>]
FDISK /MBR [<drive#>]
FDISK /RMBR [<drive#>]
FDISK /SMBR [<drive#>]
For handling flags on a hard disk:
FDISK /CLEARFLAG[{:<flag#>} | /ALL} ] [<drive#>]
FDISK /SETFLAG:<flag#>[,<flag_value>] [<drive#>]
FDISK /TESTFLAG:<flag#>[,<flag_value>] [<drive#>]
For obtaining information about the hard disk(s):
FDISK /DUMP
FDISK /INFO [/TECH] [<drive#>]
For rebooting the computer:
FDISK /REBOOT
FreeDOS FDISK interactive user interface switches:
FDISK /MONO
FDISK /XO
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:
/MONO Forces the user interface to run in monochrome mode.
/XO Enables extended options.
