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.
