Individual ; functions may display debugging information as ; described elsewhere in this file. ; D_CMD_ARG ; ON Displays the remaining command line arguments as they ; are processed. ; * OFF ; ; D_CR_PART Shows debugging information for the function that ; creates partitions. ; ON ; * OFF ; ; D_DET_FR_SPC Shows debugging information for the function that ; determines the amount of free space available. ; ON ; * OFF ; ; D_INPUT Shows debugging information for the function that ; obtains user input. ; ON ; * OFF ; ; D_PATH ON Displays the path to Free FDISK. ; * OFF Opposite of the above. ; ; D_READ_S ON Displays the result of a call to void Read_Physical_Sector() ; * OFF ; ; DEL_ND_LOG Allows non-dos logical drives to be deleted. ; TRUE ; * FALSE ; ; EMULATE_DISK Emulates the existance of a 6.2 GB hard disk at the ; specified physical location. The hard disk emulated ; has 784 cylinders, 255 heads, and 63 sectors. If ; EMULATE_DISK is not set to off fdisk will automatically ; enter its read only mode. ; * OFF ; 1 TO 8 ; ; FLAG_SECTOR Sector number where the flags will be located. The ; default is 2. ; 0 Disables sector flagging function. ; 2 - 64 Flag sector. ; 256 Set the flag sector to the last sector in the first ; cylinder of the first hard disk. ; ; LABEL ON Displays "Free FDISK" along the right hand side of the ; screen to help avoid confusion between this program ; and "other" FDISK programs. ; * OFF No "Free FDISK" label is displayed along the right ; hand side of the screen. ; ; MONO ON The menus will be displayed without boldfacing the text ; for users of monochrome systems. ; * OFF The menus have boldfaced text. ; ; ; REBOOT ON Free FDISK will reboot the system upon exiting the ; program if changes were made to any partition table. ; * OFF Free FDISK will not, under any circumstances, reboot ; the system. ; ; SET_ANY_ACT If set to true, will allow the user to set any primary ; partition active. Otherwise, it will only set DOS ; partition types active. ; * TRUE ; FALSE ; ; VERSION Version number that Free FDISK will emulate while the ; user is using the interactive setup. ; 4 Emulates the MS-FDISK that came with MS-DOS 4.xx. ; 5 Emulates the MS-FDISK that came with MS-DOS 5.xx. ; 6 Emulates the MS-FDISK that came with MS-DOS 6.xx. ; W95 Adds support for LBA hard disks. ; W95B Same as W95, with the addition of FAT32 support. ; * W98 Same as W95B ; FD Setting for FreeDOS. Currently is the same as W95 ; with ALLOW_4GB_FAT16 set to TRUE. ; ; WRITE * ON Changes will be written the the hard disk(s). ; OFF Changes will not be written to the hard disk(s) and ; a debugging screen will be displayed. ; ; XO ON Extended options will become available in the menus. ; * OFF Extended options will not be available in the menus. ; ; * Designates default settings if the fdisk.ini file does not ; exist or the statement is absent from the fdisk.ini file. ; ; ; To override the autodetection of a hard disk with your own drive geometry: ; (This function could be used if your BIOS does not correctly detect ; the geometry of your hard disk.) ; ; Add the "DRIVE" statement with the syntax of: DRIVE A-BBBB-CCC-DD ; ; Where: A Represents the drive number ; B Represents the number of cylinders ; C Represents the number of heads ; D Represents the number of sectors ; i.e. DRIVE 3-0620-063-64 -> Sets drive 3 to 620 cylinders, ; 63 heads, and 64 sectors. ; NOTE: All fields specified in the DRIVE statement MUST be the EXACT ; number of characters as indicated above. ; ; WARNING: If the drive that you are forcing geometry values for ; does not exist or the values you enter are greater than ; what is supported by the hard disk, unpredictable problems ; will occur. ; ; Always proceed informational lines with a ";" so that Free FDISK ignores ; that line. ; ; The items and settings below can be separated by equal signs "=" or spaces. ; ; Current settings: ; ALLOW_4GB_FAT16 FALSE ALLOW_ABORT FALSE AMBR OFF CHECKEXTRA FALSE COLORS 7 DEL_ND_LOG TRUE FLAG_SECTOR 2 LABEL ON MONO FALSE REBOOT ON SET_ANY_ACT FALSE VERSION FD XO OFF ; ; Hard Disk Detection Overrides: ; (Replace the "#"s with the correct C/H/S values and remove the ";" ; from the beginning of the line to enable an override.) ; ; DRIVE 1-####-###-## ; DRIVE 2-####-###-## ; DRIVE 3-####-###-## ; DRIVE 4-####-###-## ; DRIVE 5-####-###-## ; DRIVE 6-####-###-## ; DRIVE 7-####-###-## ; DRIVE 8-####-###-## ; ; ; Uncomment the debugging settings, below, if debugging is compiled in. ; ; Debugging settings: ; ; D_ALL OFF ; D_CMD_ARG OFF ; D_CR_PART OFF ; D_DET_FR_SPC OFF ; D_INPUT OFF ; D_LBA OFF ; D_PATH OFF ; D_READ_S OFF ; EMULATE_DISK OFF ; ; WRITE ON ; ; ; End of file marker follows, do not remove it. 999
