Super FDisk (iso)

[Cuffy]

Remember Fdisk?

Here's it's replacement and it works like a champ!

I burned the iso to CD and tried it on XPPro. It booted up without a problem and provides everything you'd want to know about your drives.

I stuck the CD in an old machine with Win2K. Again it booted up fine and even displays the parameters for the hidden partition containing the BIOS/CMOS/whatever?

Well worth the dime for the CD and beats messing with Fdisk!

Hmm... interesting find, Cuffy. Thanks for directing this our (my!) way. I'm downloading it now.

Thanks for the tip.
There I times when I felt that F'disk was well named

Amen.

And now they've super-sized it! (Life is good...)

So now it's name is 'MotherF...disk'?

Has anyone had a chance to test this software yet?
I'm curious about whether an external USB hdd shows up along with the other drives?
I don't have an external USB enclosure to use for testing.
We have a situation in another forum where a lady inadvertently compressed some files while trying to format an external hdd. Now it won't format, the files are locked and won't delete, and the only solution I can think of is to blow away all the partitions on the drive and reformat.
Any ideas?
TIA
