After all the hardware is installed, the installer sets related options in the BIOS of the motherboard. At this time, I found that he did not partition and format the common fdisk and format, instead of using the famous partitionmagic or DM, I took out a floppy disk and typed a command on it (I didn't see it). A few seconds later, I restarted the computer, and the GB hard disk was already partitioned and formatted, the system can be installed! I was surprised to look at him. Is there any "special software "?! In my subsequent chat with him, I "made" a secret ". In fact, he does not use dedicated software at all, but our most common hard disk copy-on tool: Ghost, with some additional skills.
Since ghost can clone the entire hard disk, ghost will re-allocate the target disk and copy the file according to the partition ratio of the cloned hard disk when restoring the backup. If it is a new hard disk, it will be automatically formatted in advance. Based on the above principle, a partitioned and formatted hard disk can be used as a "template" (this hard disk does not contain any files), backed up and restored to the new hard disk using ghost, in this way, you can quickly format large hard disk partitions. Specific practice: Find a hard disk of any capacity, and format it using fdisk, format according to the proportion you want to partition the large hard disk, be sure not to install any files on it; start the computer with a boot disk with a ghost program, run the ghost, and use the "local-disk-to image" command to convert the formatted hard disk image into a software, save this file on the boot disk (rest assured that this file should be small) and name it, for example, myfdisk. then, create a DOS batch processing file on the boot disk (editable using the edit command) with the content ghost.exe-clone, mode = load, src = A: myfdisk. gho,
DST = 1. Save it as a bat file and name it, for example, myfdisk. bat. In this way, you can use this boot disk to start the computer and execute myfdisk. bat. It will take less than a minute to partition and format the hard disk, no matter how large it is. If you want to change the partition ratio, you only need to modify myfdisk. BAT file. If you want to change the ratio to, you only need to modify myfdisk. bat content: Export ghost.exe-clone, mode = load, src = A: myfdisk. gho,
DST = 1, size1 = 10 p, size2 = 30 p, sze3 = 30 p, sze4
= 30p. If you have more requirements, you can also click “ghost.exe-H in the dosstate to view the Command help. Of course, you can also click “ghost.exe to access the main interface of ghsot to restore the image file, but you have to press the key several more times.
I personally think this partition formatting method is very practical, especially for those who often want to partition and format large-capacity hard drives, such as the installer, computer maintainer, computer enthusiast, and so on, so I wrote this article, it is expected to help all computer enthusiasts, including them.
