* FDISK Runs FreeDOS FDISK in interactive mode.
* FDISK /? [/NOPAUSE] Displays this help information.
FDISK /MONO
FDISK /XO
/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#).
/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.
/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.
/DUMP Dumps all partition information from all hard disks. This
function is mainly used for debugging by redirecting the
