Hello guyz. I'm trying to write an HDD partitioning tool. It would create new partitions, Convert the existing partitions to what'ver file system. Would someone tip me a hint about where to start from? Thanks dede:-)

Thanks : dede:-) : Partitioning is a silly thing, invented by the microsofties. In fact you do not need partitions on a HDD! Thus you do not need the rules of M$. You can find a well commented tool to read and write on IDE-ATA-disks, which works in LBA-mode (and deals with 48-bit-adresses too!) - at my homepage: www.rcfriz.de Download the sources of my "FDOS1" - its booting from FD, and You can re-define every sector 0 in Your system, if You know, what You are doing...
