It's a "DOS primary".
(created with Linux Fdisk)
Most of the thime I keep it "hidden".
(using Gdisk.exe)
command line:
gdisk 1 -hide /p:11
When I want to store something on it....
gdisk 1 /-hide /p:11
(and then reboot)
Here's what it now contains:
Volume in drive D does not have a label
Directory of D:\
DRIVE_C.ZIP 139,213,005 11-28-01 6:11p
DRIVE_D.ZIP 212,165,749 11-28-01 6:43p
DRIVE_E.ZIP 458,491,980 11-28-01 8:04p
DRIVE_F.ZIP 408,381,339 11-28-01 10:16p
4 File(s) 105,742,336 bytes free
That's right... 4 ZIP files which are a complete backup of everything
else on this HDD.
When I'm done with this evenings eMails... I'll burn them onto CDs.
(using DOS to do the burning)
WOW !!!!
It feels good to say that!!! :)
No more WinCrap!!!
It feels even better to say THAT. :))))
