Hi Mark,
The person who did this is very knowledgeable and believes that
FDISK did, in fact, trash the partition table. I had this exact
thing happen to me when running fdisk. FDISK displayed a bunch
of garbage in response to a display partitions option and then
the partition table was destroyed. This was some time ago.
I have seen this ONCE, and I have no way to reproduce it again.
I always got errors and FDISK return to DOS, but after reboot it won't
happen again for several days, no idea is hardware problem or software
bug.
Since the computer was acting up before I did that, I cannot
say for sure that FDISK caused the problem.
What's the driver you use? I got the HIMEM 3.00 + EMM386 (old one,
can't remember the version)
I am going to run FDISK again on that laptop (an HP Pavillion)
AFTER I back up the partition table! I will do that this evening
and see if I can reproduce a problem.
This was running FDISK WITHOUT an fdisk.ini file. Any ideas?
According to the documentation, when no .ini file, FDISK will use it's
default parameter.
Is there a safer DOS tool that just shows the partition table?
I know the Linux ones, but not the DOS ones.
Try AEFDISK.EXE, maybe there's free tools but I don't know ...
