Do you know the use of FDISk in Dos - Must Read!!!

Fdisk is one of the more commonly used MS-DOS commands, even today with Windows 95 and Windows 98.

Fdisk allows the user to delete and/or create partitions on the hard disk drive.

FDISK /MBR      

Command used to rewrite the  Master Boot Record. See CH000175  for additional information.

FDISK /CMBR <DISK>    

Recreates the Master Boot Record on specified disk. Performs the same functions as FDISK /MBR except can be used on other disk drives.

FDISK 1/PRI:100    

Creates a 100MB DOS partition on the hard drive.

FDISK 1/EXT:500    

Creates a 500MB meg extended DOS partition on the hard drive.

FDISK 1/LOG:250    

Creates a 250MB logical drives on the hard drive.

FDISK /Q    

Prevents fdisk from booting the system automatically after exiting fdisk.

FDISK /STATUS    

Shows you the current status of your hard drives.

FDISK /ACTOK    

Makes FDISK not check the disk integrity allowing the drives to be created faster.

FDISK /FPRMT    

Will not get the prompt for FAT32 support, in addition allows FDISK to be forced into using FAT32 on drives smaller than 540MB (by default FDISK will not use FAT32 on any drive smaller than 540MB). Finally this command can only be used with FDISK that supports FAT32.
