Looking forward to seeing the Windows version of dpit with drive letter display as soon as possible. Human desires are endless. Hehe.

Displaying drive letters and partition correspondences under Windows is relatively easier compared to DOS. Please be patient for a few days. When the DOS version is basically problem-free, I will release the Windows version.

Thanks. Currently, using ghost32 to obtain the correspondence between drive letters and partitions is cumbersome with a large software size and slow operation. Looking forward to your work.

I want to run dpit to display only the first column's 1:x and nothing else. How to do it?

What is this tool used for~~~ I'm very stupid~ Please give me some pointers~~`

Please ask the author to pay attention to this issue of the DPIT displaying partition numbers. Under the same DOS conditions, the dpit (version 06-12-26) on the boot disk and ghost were run to obtain the hard disk partition numbers. It was found that there was a problem. The partition numbers could not be obtained correctly, causing the ghost automatic backup to not proceed normally. Please confirm with the author whether it is a bug? How to solve it?

Do not use the problems that occurred in the old version, report the error here, please use the new version.

The new version is on the first floor and 107th floor.

Don't report issues with old versions here. Please use the new version.

The version isn't really that old. Because in your newly released versions, they are all beta versions with time limits. The previous versions were relatively stable and had no restrictions. Putting the time-limited ones on a one-key recovery disk would prevent others from using them later.
Also, in the changes.log of your various versions, there's no mention of algorithm changes, like 1. Cancel parameter /NOEXT 2. Add parameter /EXT. These changes don't mean much to me. For me, as long as I can get the partition number (and if possible, the corresponding relationship between partitions and drive letters under Windows), it's sufficient, so I didn't update the version in time.
I'll update the version immediately. Thank you for your software!

If the dpit result is as follows:
No. Type PartitionType Active StartSector Sectors MBytes

How to get the following display into 1.txt under DOS:
1:1

1:3
1:4

If there are multiple hard disks, can it be displayed into 1.txt:

2:2
2:3
2:4

Tested respectively with dspt0122, dspt0120, dpit0115, dpit1226 versions and Ghost. The results are as follows:
The results of the four versions are the same, the primary partition number is incorrect; in addition, there is a partition label error (it should be 160_3).

to lianjiang2004:
I estimate that it is because you used the hidden function of the extended partition that the situation you had occurred. This function has been disabled in this version.

Second version on 2006.1.26, please test if there are still any issues.

The test result of version 0126 on floor 107 is also incorrect.
The result shows that if the algorithm for obtaining the partition number is not changed, using the same algorithm, no matter which version is used, the result must be the same. It would be strange if they were different. Hehe.

The following are the results.

Looking forward to the author solving this problem as soon as possible.

Does the version 0126 have a time limit?

Hope to continue to be improved!

Currently, it is still unable to display the drive letter of the NTFS partition that has correctly assigned the drive letter after the IFS driver is loaded, and it is also unable to display the volume label of the NTFS partition!

If it can be like this, it will be perfect. Using it together with IFS is simply a perfect match!
