Great FDISK Resource

FDISK's #1 strength is compatibility. Other partitioning utilities [such as the wonderful Partition Magic] offer far more features, such as the ability to modify partitions non-destructively. Their GUI's make them easier to use. And they certainly look prettier. But none offer better compatibility .. with the infinite number of configurations possible .. taking into account both hardware & software.

Mods...
It was a toss-up between "General" and "Storage"... please put this thread where you deem appropriate.

I posted a Windows ME boot disk on my Downloads page. You can either use this one [labeled "FDISK floppy"], or grab one from bootdisk.com. I suggest the one labeled "Windows ME" as this particular disk contains the latest version of FDISK, which supports hard drives larger than 64-GB.

There's a known-problem with trying to create partitions [with FDISK] larger than 64GB. See here . Microsoft has a file for you to download [if you want to create partitions larger than 64GB]. If you already have a bootable floppy disk that works for you, but merely need the updated version of FDISK for a new hard drive that is larger than 64-GB, you can download the new version of FDISK.exe from my Downloads page.
