Some people say that after partitioning the hard disk with PQmagic, DM, DISKGEN, etc., when there is a large amount of data in the partition, various compatibility problems will occur. Only using Microsoft's FDISK will not have such situations. But as far as I know, FDISK partitions very slowly because it performs a surface check of the hard disk, while other software skips this check and is much faster. In fact, for a new hard disk, there is no need for a surface check.

Everyone, based on your own practice, tell us whether it is really only FDISK partitioning that is stable?

fdisk is said to be for partition detection, but it's overwriting data clusters

Still, fdisk and gdisk are relatively stable

New hard drives, I use DM or PQ. For problematic hard drives, I also use DM or PQ. The several hard drives I encountered, FDISK simply couldn't partition them. After using DM or PQ to ignore the bad sector check and then partition, they can still be used somewhat.

It is best to use fdisk to partition a new hard disk

Generally speaking, when I buy a new hard drive, I will get a detection tool of that brand of hard drive to check for bad sectors. Need I say more if there are bad sectors? It doesn't matter what software I use to partition if there are no bad sectors. But FDISK is really too slow, especially when partitioning a 250G hard drive...

My view is also: For a new hard drive, use fdisk; for problematic ones, use: DG, DM

Yes. For example, Seagate uses Seatools, and IBM uses DFT for detection. Then use DM for quick partitioning, and then install Windows into the system for formatting. For systems like 2000, XP, etc., it is best to directly use their partitioning and formatting functions.

If it's FDisk for a new hard disk. If the hard disk has data, I think Partition Magic is the best

FDISK /ACTOK


Some materials say that this parameter allows FDISK to skip disk checking, which can speed up the partitioning speed, similar to the quick format of DM. But I have tried many times and it is still ineffective. The percentage still jumps slowly, the same as when not using this parameter.
In the past, I was also a firm user of FDISK. I always felt that the partitions divided by it were "pure" a bit. Seeing that some third-party partitioning software can divide a hard drive so quickly, I always feel a little "hastily done" and uneasy. But as the hard drive capacity continues to increase, I no longer have the patience to use FDISK. Moreover, if you want to install multiple operating systems, FDISK cannot meet certain specific requirements.

SFDISK... Why doesn't anyone talk about it? I've been using it to partition, it's fast, intuitive, and has high space utilization. Unlike FDISK, which leaves remaining space after partitioning. SFDISK allows multiple primary partitions, while FDISK only allows one primary partition.
