Can you upload the MBR of your machine? I want to see the partition situation in your MBR.

to pfox:
The version on the first floor has no time limit and does not have the function to display the volume label.

to hnlyzhd:
The one on floor 107 can display the NTFS volume label. Currently, it cannot display the DOS drive letters assigned after IFS and NTFS4DOS are loaded.

This is my MBR file.

Can the landlord write a program to create an HPA partition directly under DOS, automatically setting the last partition of the first master hard disk as an HPA partition!

Some netizens have also raised this question. It's just that I'm relatively busy here right now, and it hasn't been included in the development plan for the time being.

to lianjiang2004:
Please test the new version and let us know the result.

The program of the original poster is really very practical. Looking forward to the advent of the perfect version.

The LZ has time to study how AEFDISK32.EXE displays the disk drive letters!

I have mastered displaying and partitioning corresponding drive letters in the WIN32 environment. The reason why the WIN32 version was not released is that the DOS version is not stable yet and is still in testing. When the DOS version is stable, I will release the WIN32 version.

Thanks, test immediately.

Report the latest test results.

First of all, thank you to the author for paying attention to the issues I reported. The test results with version 0129 dpit and dspt are as follows, which are normal. I don't know what caused the different results in previous versions?

At the same time, I also report an unfortunate message. On my other hard drive, dspt cannot work and displays "Read Disk Error!" [Note: I happen to have version 1227 dspt in my boot disk, and the test result is normal]. And dpit displays normally. The results are as follows, and the MBR of this hard drive is attached.

dspt:
Read Disk Error!

Same...

Thanks for the test. Actually, the code for processing partitions in dpit and dspt is consistent. Specifically, why the disk read error occurs, I need to re-examine the code for this problem.

There is a request. I wonder if the author can consider it in the future?
Specific requirements: Add parameters to control whether to display the drive letter and drive label.
Reason:
I need to use dpit to obtain hard disk parameters under DOS in the batch processing of one-click backup and recovery. Including the active primary partition number, which is used to judge which partition to back up; and the last partition number, which is used to save the backup file.
Due to the limitations of the for function under DOS, it cannot obtain the above two partition numbers as simply as in WinXP. Maybe it's because of my limited level. Currently, I am using version 12-26. This version does not display the drive letter and drive label, so the previous part is regular. I use the enumeration method to query characters like "0:2 Primary HPFS/NTFS Yes", "0:2 Primary Win95 FAT32 Yes", etc. If found, then set the primary partition number and partition type. Similarly, find the last partition number and type.
But in the new version, the drive letter and drive label are added, making the string irregular. I can't determine the active primary partition number.

I really want to still use dpit instead of ghost -dd to obtain relevant parameters in the future. Of course, this is my personal requirement. I feel embarrassed to put it forward. It doesn't matter if it can't be considered. Anyway, this is a very good tool.
Thank you.

Where can I download the latest version of dpitw? The version 12.5 doesn't work.

to lianjiang2004:
I can specifically make a version for you that doesn't display the drive letter and volume label. Currently, I don't want to add too many parameters.
Please test the dspt from 2007.1.30 again. I completely copied the code of dpit, and I don't think there should be a "Read Disk Error!"

to anqing:
The new version hasn't been released yet, and the old version can be downloaded on Wuyou.
