List FDISK parameters and their meanings!

Partitioning and formatting a hard disk is a step that every hard drive must go through. Here I will explain how to use fdisk to partition hard disk.

The fdisk program is a partition software that comes with DOS and Windows systems, although its functions are not as good as some software, but it is very safe to use it to partition. Here's how to do it:

1) Enter the DOS mode. Boot in the system, appear"starting

windows..."when pressed"f8"key, and then select it"command

prompt

only"You can enter the DOS mode.

2) Type"fdisk"Then press enter to enter.

4) The main menu of fdisk appears, to create partition please select"1"Enter again.

5) Create a primary partition

partition), select"1"After entering.

6) At this point you will be asked if you want to use the maximum free space as the primary partition if answered"y", then the software will divide all the disk space into a partition, answer"n"You can divide multiple partitions, for the current hard disk, it is generally relatively large, if it is divided into a partition, it is not easy to manage, so you can choose to enter"n"to divide into multiple partitions.

7) The software will prompt you to enter the size of the main partition, enter and press enter.

8) Press the Esc key when you're done to go back to the main menu.

9) For a hard drive, an active partition must be set before the operating system can boot, so we need to enter"2"Item.

10) This is the number that will prompt the user to enter the active partition, since there is only one partition, enter it"1"。

When you're done, you'll see one in the status bar"a", indicating that the partition is active.

11) A hard disk can only have one primary partition, so if you want to divide the remaining hard disk space now, you must create an extended partition, go back to the main menu and select it"2"。

12) The program will prompt the user to enter the size of the extended partition.

13) After the extension partition is established, the information of the main partition and the extended partition will be displayed, press the esc key.

14) At this time, it will prompt that there is no logical disk, you can divide the entire extension partition into one logical disk, or divide it into several logical disks. Now you can enter the size of the first logical disk and press enter.

15) The information about the first disk will be displayed, and you will be asked to enter the size of the second disk.

16) When you're done, press the Esc key to go back to the main menu.

17) At this time, after pressing esc to exit the fdisk and restart, you can format the partition.

If you want to repartition a hard disk that has been partitioned, you must go to the third item to delete the partition in the main menu.

fdisk is a hard disk partition command! It runs in a DOS environment and can be typed fdisk enter when it runs. You can use it to logically partition your hard drive.

After you create a primary logical partition, you can create a secondary logical partition. In this way, the hard disk is divided into C, D, E and other drive letters, which is convenient for file management. But it can't partition hard drives larger than 2GB.

1. Syntax: fdisk [-b "partition size"] [uv] [peripheral device code] or fdisk [-l][-b "partition size"] [uv] [peripheral device code. or fdisk [-s "Partition Number"].

2. Parameters: b "Partition Size" specifies the size of each partition.

l Lists the partition table status of the specified peripherals.

Partition Number Outputs the specified partition size to the standard output in chunks.

u collocation"-l"The parameter list replaces the number of cylinders with the number of partitions to indicate the starting address of each partition.

v Displays version information.

A partition is essentially a formatting of a hard disk. When we create a partition, we have already set the physical parameters of the hard disk, specifying the location of the master boot record (i.e., the master bootrecord (commonly referred to as MBR) and the boot record backup. For the file system and other operating systems, the information required to manage the hard disk is achieved through the subsequent advanced formatting, that is, the format command.

To use a figurative analogy, partitioning is like drawing a large box on a blank piece of paper. Formatting, on the other hand, is like putting a grid in a box. Installing software is like writing in a grid.

Partitioning and formatting are the basis for installing software, and they actually serve as a marker for computers to store data on the hard drive. To perform hard drive partitioning, our most commonly used software is: Here's how to use fdisk to partition our hard drive!

Before partitioning the hard disk, you need to use a boot disk with fdisk (98 boot disk is sufficient) to boot the system first.

After starting, enter the fdisk command, and the main operation interface of fdisk will appear. In this interface, users can create partitions, activate partitions, delete partitions, and view partition information.

is a command for a partition in DOS.

Partitions are allocated on the disk in sectors, and fdisk -l is displayed in blocks by default. When the size of the partition is not exactly an integer multiple of the block, the number of blocks (the default is 1024bytes) is not an integer, for example, dev hda2, it is displayed as 10439+"+"Indicates that there is also a decimal part.
