XFDisk I Version 0.9.1 Beta EN ============================================================================== XFDisk is distributed under the GNU Public Licence (GPL). You can get the GPL, the latest version of XFDisk, the source code of XFDisk and additional help at XFDisks homepage at http://home.paged.de/~xfdisk Sorry, currently there is only a German documentation availabe. BE WARNED that this is still a beta version. Use at your own risk! Make a backup of your valuable data before using XFDisk! For Windows 2000 users: XFDisk is not able to hide any partition for Windows 2000, because Windows 2000 does not care for the partition type; instead, it analyses the partition directly. If you don't like to see all your partitions under Windows 2000, remove the drive letter in the system settings (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management). Here is a short description of the command line parameters. They can also be stored in the file XFDISK.INI to be used each time XFDisk starts. /AUTOHIDE XFDisk allows several visible primary partitions per drive. Using this parameter XFDisk will only allow one visible primary partition per drive and automatically hide additional ones, as in version 0.8.5 and before. /SORT Partition table entries will be sorted, as in XFDisk up to version 0.8.5. Be carefull: Linux and XFDisk partly use these partition numbers. /NOWIN9X, /OS2, /WINNT and /LINUX Extended partitions that can only be adressed with the extended INT13- BIOS functions (i.e. above 8 GB) usually have that partition type 0xF instead of 0x5. So DOS/Windows only accesses such partitions using the extendes BIOS functions. But obviously OS/2 does not know this partition type. So using /NOWIN9X will prevent XFDisk using partition type 0xF. Using /OS2, /WINNT or /LINUX will aditionally change the default type of new created partitions. /MBR rewrites the master boot record on the first hard disk /NOCOLOR black/white /BLIND special cursor for blind people /BUILD shows XFDisks build number ============================================================================== Ulrich Mueller, 09/16/2000
