China DOS Union

The modified version I've been testing.

Tested the latest version 1.3, and it interrupted and exited. It seems because it tried to read the remaining capacity of drive E?? Unfortunately, drive E is not formatted...

No. N:N : N PRI/LOG ACTIVE HIDE ID FILE SYSTEM LABEL TOTALmb FREEmb
[ 1] 1:1 PRIMARY YES NO 7 HPFS/NTFS 2000
[ 2] 1:2 LOGICAL NO NO 7 HPFS/NTFS 800
[ 3] 1:3 LOGICAL NO NO 131 Linux Native 196
[ 4] 1:4 C: 1 PRIMARY NO NO 11 FAT32 NO NAME 596 575
[ 5] 1:5 PRIMARY NO NO 6 FAT16(>=32M) NO NAME 196
[ 6] 2:1 PRIMARY NO NO 7 HPFS/NTFS 500
Invalid media type reading drive E
Abort, Retry, Fail?

Also, the data alignment still needs to be adjusted, it's not very aligned yet

It seems that alignment is necessary. Wait for the stable version to come out before downloading.

It is suggested to first estimate the maximum length (the hard disk should preferably support up to 1024T), leave one space between each column, do not display the number of sectors, add a parameter to display the number of sectors at the end of each line. Include the remaining space, and it must be aligned. The start and end of sectors can use hexadecimal.

However, I think the best way is to use one parameter per column. When this parameter is used, output that column, so that everyone can freely extract the information they want.

The objects to operate on are disks, partitions (single: C:/1:2, a certain type, excluding a certain type)
Each object supports several operations, and defines the default operation when no parameter is added.

Then add parameters to support ntfs4dos, ntfspro, ifs.
The parameters are estimated not to be too many, and should be easy to handle.

It is best to output help in the program when it is written, and it must be concise and effective.

Supported!!!

Just tried the latest version, and after running with the -P2 parameter, the following is displayed:
No. N:N : N PRI/LOG ACTIVE HIDE ID FILE SYSTEM LABEL TOTALmb FREEmb
[ 2] 2:1 G: 5 PRIMARY YES NO 7 HPFS/NTFS 5137 2047
[ 3] 2:2 D: 2 LOGICAL NO NO 11 FAT32 NO NAME 20559 4082
[ 4] 2:3 H: 6 LOGICAL NO NO 7 HPFS/NTFS 9499 2047
[ 5] 2:4 E: 3 LOGICAL NO NO 11 FAT32 NO NAME 20559 1097
[ 6] 2:5 F: 4 LOGICAL NO NO 11 FAT32 NO NAME 20559 3316

The [ 2] in front of 2:1 should probably display 1 correctly? I'm not sure about the original display method anymore? I remember it used to be 1;

The previous version had some alignment issues, and using side display and side search for the display space was problematic when encountering exceptions. Now it's corrected. If you search well once before displaying, there will be no problem.. It's improved and has been updated, see the first post

The before 2:1 should be displayed as 1, which is correct.

It's okay to change it.

It is recommended to first estimate the maximum length (the hard drive should preferably support up to 1024T),

The maximum hard drive is 4999GB, which is not enough.

Just now, I changed the display number to always start from 1 and changed the "ERROR" for unformatted or problematic partitions to "UNREADY". It has been updated, see the first post.

Test the new version, under the virtual machine: after running, it comes up with
Invalid media type reading drive E
Abort, Retry, Fail?
If you press A, the operation will be interrupted. If you press F, you need to repeat the same kind of operation one more time to display the final partition information..

I don't know if this is a problem only in the virtual machine. What about on a real machine??

This has nothing to do with the virtual machine

This is the program reading an invalid partition when checking the partition space. This is given by DOS. To escape from it, you can add SHELL=XXX:\COMMAND.COM /P /F /E:4096 in CONFIG.SYS. Try it and see if it can escape..

Can't you check in advance, such as checking whether it is unformatted, whether it does not support the remaining space, to avoid DOS errors? ?
When I get an error here, even the function that causes the error is displayed, and this kind of error is not nice to look at.

Modifying CONFIG is not a good solution. The generality and stability of a program should best start from itself, and try to avoid having to do other things.

Well, even DOS's own commands and programs are like this..
Okay, I'll see if I can improve it..
That function is intentionally displayed, if you don't want to see it, you can remove it.. I'll go check now if I can solve this problem..

After assembling with AVLGO, you must press Enter, but the batch processing cannot be executed (the floppy drive has been removed):

INSERT DISKETTE FOR DRIVE A: AND PRESS ANY KEY WHEN READY

INSERT DISKETTE FOR DRIVE B: AND PRESS ANY KEY WHEN READY

INSERT DISKETTE FOR DRIVE A: AND PRESS ANY KEY WHEN READY

INSERT DISKETTE FOR DRIVE B: AND PRESS ANY KEY WHEN READY

Do I need to provide a backup of the first 63 sectors? Let's see why my computer freezes during operation?
