Neat! - I'll make a note of that for future Mike. It's not very often that I
need to FDISK these days, particularly with just one disk present g but its certainly a point worth being aware of, if just for these NG's. Mart "Mike M" wrote in message ... Let's hope so Mart. I wondered if you'd missed the reference to a Code 10 error. I have learned something though from this thread which I hadn't realised until I checked it out for myself and that is that FDISK option 5, to change drive, is only present when the system sees more than one drive. I tested it here on a Win Me VM which has just the one virtual drive as I've always been used to seeing option 5 as my old celeron here that's running Win Me has two drives. So if a user doesn't see option 5 in fdisk when they've added a new drive then they've got a driver or connection problem that needs to be dealt with.

Mart, Agreed, and without Binky's comment about not seeing a fifth option (I'd never previously though to even count the number of options) I don't think I would have realised that the option to change drives when using fdisk depended on whether there were two or more drives. As for when I last used fdisk, well other than for checking it out for this and other queries, I haven't a clue since any drive management I need to do nowadays I do using BING (www.bootitng.com) or XP's Disk Management applet. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP |
