Can you release a minito that runs under Windows? Although there are other ways to obtain related parameters under Windows, after all, if there are Windows and DOS versions of the same tool, batch processing will be more convenient.

It seems that the author of DSPT has disappeared, now there are great works from GOTOmsdos, the functions of MINITO can fully meet the use combined with GHOST! More functions can use TOdisk!

Can you make a Windows-running minito?

Because restoring the operating system can't be done under WIN, so it wasn't considered for the WIN version. But if it's to be added, it should be quite easy. Just replace the disk reading and writing functions. Also, adding GUI graphic display is possible. Just change the data display from full screen to the WIN window. The core code doesn't need to be changed... It shouldn't take too much time. However, the practicality of the WIN version is not high.

I wrote a graphic program for reading and writing any sector of the disk under WIN before. It's called Hard Disk Reader and was also uploaded to this forum.. If interested, you can search for it;

The problem is that I'm already using DSPT. If I change tools, I'll have to rewrite the batch processing.

There is an important update!:

1(Important)
Newly added: Copy the self-contained DBR copy of the FAT32 partition to the DBR. This function can bring it back to life when the FAT32 partition fails. This magic weapon of FAT32, many people have not paid attention to it, which is very regrettable, leading...

It seems that KVFix still needs to be retained...

It was originally done at the request of friend terse to streamline TOdisk. Now I've just finished miniTO, and haven't had time to update the new functions of miniTO to TOdisk. If it's updated to TOdisk, I'll just use TOdisk directly, so as to avoid some functions not working.

It is suggested that the functions of Todisk should only be backup and restore!
Other functions should be independent as minito!

Can the functions of MBR backup and restore; MBR reconstruction; partition boot information functions for /DOS6.22/Win9X/NT/Vista be added?
In this way, BootPart is not needed.
Can they be added?

miniTO is a mini version of TOdisk, which cancels functions such as system backup, disk sector reading and writing, compression, etc. If you need the function of disk sector reading and writing, you can use TOdisk, which is between sectors and files in disk sector reading and writing...

Thank you, but I want something smaller.

The reason for raising the issue of using it under Windows is that when using minito for one-click ghost, the main thing is to obtain the correspondence between partitions and drive letters and create the specified directory.
On one hand, when ghosting for backup, it's simpler to back up to the root directory of the partition. But if you want to back up to a specified directory, it's more troublesome. You need to obtain the correspondence between partition numbers and drive letters.
Moreover, the existence of NTFS partitions increases the difficulty. Although NTFSpro and ifs can support reading and writing NTFS partitions, it's estimated that there may still be some compatibility issues, and it may not work on every machine.

Therefore, in my gghost, two schemes are considered. One is to set the path under Windows, automatically create the directory, generate a temporary file of the batch processing file for automatic backup and recovery in the form of partition numbers, and execute the batch processing file under DOS.
The second scheme is to directly analyze partitions and drive letters under DOS, create the directory, and execute the backup and recovery.

If developing a Windows version, since it's for batch processing, having a command line is sufficient.

MBR backup and recovery; MBR reconstruction; Can the partition boot information functions for /DOS6.22/Win9X/NT/Vista be added?

This is possible.
First, extract them.

Now MINITO should be capable of working with GHOST under DOS! Even with NTFS! The IFS I loaded! Includes automatic/manual setting of paths, automatic/manual creation of directories, as for the compatibility issues of IFS, then it's hard to say!

This is okay.

How to extract?

For NT/Vista

Today, a strange problem occurred: because my USB flash drive is recognized as drive C, that is, 1:1. I tried to back up in the afternoon but couldn't! Please help the experts take a look! I don't know if anyone has the same problem? Maybe this post is not appropriate here; but I think there are more experts here! Here are two normal ones for pictures:

Even if you know nothing about NT/VISTA, it's okay
