China DOS Union

At the request of terse's friend, I specially streamlined TOdisk into a mini version, which has the functions of displaying the partition table, backing up/restoring/comparing disk partition table chains (DPT/DBR/FAT/CMOS).

In addition to covering all the functions of SRCTOOLS, it also has the following ten functions:
1. All functions are in one program.
2. Support backing up partition tables of any file system (including LINUX, etc., represented by GHOST's numerical method) and NTFS partition information DBR, etc. (represented by GHOST's numerical method to represent partitions. Also, if NTFSPRO/IFS is loaded, you can directly use the drive letter).
3. Support backing up the partition table chains of all hard disks and any hard disks, and support global comparison.
4. Support copying the DBR copy provided by the FAT32 system to the DBR.
5. Support the drive letters of NTFS/LINUX after loading NTFSPRO/IFS.
6. Support representing partitions in numerical form, breaking through the limitations of FAT partitions, consistent with GHOST.
7. Support converting and displaying between partitions represented by numerical form and drive letter representation.
8. Support cooperating with DOS batch processing.
9. Support backing up CMOS and generating CMOS passwords.
10. Support displaying the hard disk table and the total partition table.

Its functions far exceed the similar tool dosBACK I wrote before...

**********************************
At the request of several enthusiastic users,
On the basis of cooperating with NTFSPRO/IFS, the functions of cooperating with GHOST and DOS batch processing are added.

And the function of displaying the numerical partition such as (1:2) with the drive letter (such as D:) or vice versa is added:
(And the numerical representation of partitions of the TOdisk/miniTO program is the same as that of GHOST, that is, using the direct sequential order... can be used in cooperation with GHOST, everyone can compare. After loading NTFSPRO/IFS, it is also consistent with them, because the drive letters they add are also sequential.)

The usage is as follows:
miniTO -turn 1:2
will display D:

It can also be combined with the ERRORLEVEL of DOS batch processing to store the output in a file:
Success returns 1
Failure returns 2

BAT file:
miniTO -turn 1:2 >FILE
REM Enter 1:2 will display D:
REM Enter D: will display 1:2
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO FAIL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO OK

:FAIL
Do your thing
GOTO END

:OK
Do your thing
GOTO END

:END

Will store D: or 1:2 in FILE

If NTFSPRO/IFS is loaded, you can:
miniTO -turn 1:2 -ntfspro >FILE (or -ifs)

Will handle it with the drive letters they added

If there is a problem when running on a real hard disk or in a virtual machine, you can add -NOHP at the end.

It is very convenient and practical, welcome everyone to try!

Look at the usage, enter the program name or program name -?/-h

Your full version I don't know why I can't use it. The help can be displayed, but it freezes when displaying the partition table! I'll test this streamlined version!

Their core code is the same, only some functions are cut off. Other netizens run normally, and there is no problem here. You can post the CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT, and I'll help you take a look.

Entering directly with F5 also dies!
I have 2 hard drives. The first hard drive has 6 partitions. The second hard drive has a single 80G large partition!


Thanks for the advice!

A bit hard to believe.. Generally, it shouldn't be like that
When using TODISK, besides insufficient memory, when the compression function is used, there may be a compression failure, but it will also give an error prompt

Maybe there are some special configurations or hardware issues?
Here I tested some drivers, all run normally, including XMSDSK, TW, DOSLFN, DOSKEY, etc.
Just now terse adjusted CONFIG.SYS, now it runs normally.
You can try his CONFIG.SYS to see where the problem is?

:
Change BUFFERS=30 in CONFIG.SYS to BUFFERSHIGH=10,0
terse can now run TODISK

Using Lao Ge's and xusen's DOS disks both caused死机. It might be a problem with the hard disk!

PSI can generate the partition table, but it can normally display the hard disk sorting problem:
Disk 0:
N L Type FS Size Active Hidden Label Used Free
0 C Primary FAT 32 5.0 GB Yes No 2.3 GB 2.7 GB
1 Extended 69.5 GB
2 D Logical FAT 32 5.0 GB No No 3.9 GB 1.1 GB
3 E Logical FAT 32 4.0 GB No No 1.4 GB 2.6 GB
4 F Logical FAT 32 4.0 GB No No 2.6 GB 1.4 GB
5 G Logical FAT 32 30.8 GB No No 18.7 GB 12.1 GB
6 H Logical FAT 32 25.7 GB No No 软件备份 22.7 GB 3.0 GB

Disk 1:
N L Type FS Size Active Hidden Label Used Free
0 Primary Free 7.8 MB
1 Extended 74.5 GB
2 I Logical NTFS 74.5 GB No No iU霖 71.1 GB 3.4 GB

There are errors when generating the partition table with omnifs:
Disk: 1 (74.53GB) M:[ST380011A] S:[3JV5R0L2]
1.1 ( 5.01GB) [C:\] Active Volume FAT32 Primary
1.2 ( 5.01GB) [D:\] Volume FAT32 Extended
1.3 ( 4.01GB) [E:\] Volume FAT32 Extended
( 60.49GB) Unused Space Extended
( 2.49MB) Unused Space Primary
Disk: 2 (74.53GB) M:[ST3802110A] S:[4LR3N3AC]
( 7.84MB) Unused Space Primary
2.1 ( 74.52GB) Volume NTFS l:[扩展磁盘] Extended
( 2.49MB) Unused Space Primary


It is initially suspected that the error starts when analyzing partition 1.4, or that the死机 occurs when analyzing partition 1.4.
I don't know if TODISK is still persistent in not crossing over when an error occurs? But I wonder why PSI can list normally? The compatibility of TODISK still needs to be improved!
Thanks for the help from GOTOmsdos! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Don't load UMBPCI.SYS
I tried it. After I loaded it here, it can't run.
Also: Really thank you very much GOTOmsdos. I'll go download the slim version.

I only added HIMEM.SYS memory driver, and didn't add anything else, still can't work!

Anyway, thank you for paying attention to miniTO. Now I don't know what the reason is for the error. I have checked the code and haven't found the problem... But I can check again to see if there are any places with insufficient fault tolerance...

You can try using only one hard disk alternately to see where the problem is?

Try rebuilding the MBR with spfdisk.

If there's an issue with the partition table, don't blame the program...

If that doesn't work, use kvfix to set the MBR to 0, then rebuild with diskgen.

Then run Todisk, and it should be okay.

Thanks for your attention!
However, I still think that even if it's a hard drive problem causing a crash, the program is somewhat responsible. If the program is robust enough, it should have a prompt to exit... Wait a minute, I'll check the relevant code again...

Originally, the slim version could only back up the total partition table chain, but now it has also added support for the function of a single partition table/DBR/FAT. Only then is it complete.

Not bad, not bad. It can display my Ipod.
