Fdisk DOS Partition Tutorial

[cozolins001yt]

Great video,

I added a second hand slave hard drive to my desktop PC running windows 98. With the help of this video it went off without a hitch. After several plays of the video I figured out what to do for my application.

Thanks a bunch.

how do you get to ms dos in xp

you need to start at the begining. thanks

i have 217 unallocated space that i am trying to add to c or make another partition with

when i try with parted magic it puts system volume information in there and i cant use it

i have tried gparted and it didnt work either

i need that extra space

thank you

@gbaca07 You can't get to MS DOS in XP. MS DOS is a different OS and XP is it's own OS.

So does this completaly erase the dard drive data? or just the os? Does ntfs files stay and just links are destroyed?

[frenchge]

Fdisk destroys all data and file systems.

When I type fdisk, this error appeares not recognized as an internal or external command!! how can i fix the problem?!???

Go to Google and type in "Gparted.iso" download it to the desktop then burn it to cdr then leave the cd in your computer and reboot if it boots you will read your way through to fix the hard drive.

Thank you ....try to follow your video but having difficulties with FDISK. I have a 160 GB hard drive but FDISK tells me the maximum size is 62MB.....??? what am I doing wrong??? Thanks

[frenchge]

You might be using an older DOS Fdisk. The Fdisk program that is included with Windows 98 and ME has a maximum drive size limit of 512GB. Microsoft suggests that Fdisk not be used to partition hard drives larger than 512GB and that a third-party program be used instead, such as Gdisk, a partitioning program that is included with Symantec's Ghost program. Hope this helps. Greg

8000 != 8GB

[frenchge]

8,000MB = 8GB

[nickvth2009]

@frenchge 8000mb ≠ 8GB

8192mb = 8GB

Good point...
