I need to make a DOS boot disk. To make hard disk cloning more convenient, I want to delete the partitions on the target hard disk before cloning. Is there any method, or any software that can delete hard disk partitions with one click? Experts, please advise.

Hard disk cloning? Actually, when doing that, whether the target disk has partitions or not does not affect it (limited to the software I know).

Actually, to achieve one-click partition deletion, you only need to make some changes to the MBR. For example, you can write 0 to 512 bytes, or more simply change any character in 55AA............ But figuring out which one is the source disk takes some thought.

One click is rather risky; two keys will do

Choose the hard disk to modify (), confirm ()
