- 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.
