matrix0978 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 wasnt sure what section this should go in but.....Is there any tutorials on how to reformat from a DOS cd/FDISK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un4given1 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 yeah... type Fdisk c:/s You can script Fdisk by running through it once and answering any prompts, and then creating a text file with each answer one per line. Save it and then run FDISK c:/s | file.txt later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Or gdisk, I like it much more... One important thing I am using is detecting, if drive was formated or not by script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azagahl Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Search for Ranish partition manager. It's free and I use version 2.44 beta all the time. I used it to set up my FAT16 swap partition.Ranish partiton manager allows much faster formatting than FORMAT. It doesn't allow tuning cluster size (like undocumented format /Z parameter), but anything is better than klunky fdisk interface! Also you can go back after with FORMAT /Z and change cluster sizes.
