Hi!
I'm trying to make a batch-file that will check if there is a primary partition on the harddrive. I know how to check if there's a formated partition but how do you check if there's a unformated partition?
Thx!

For pure DOS (like v6.2 or v7.0).

It's will be used something like this:

A:\SOME_PRG_THAT_CHECK_THE_PRIMARY_PARTITON.exe
IF "%ERRORLEVEL%"=""0"" GOTO NO_PRIMARY
IF "%ERRORLEVEL%"=""1"" GOTO PRIMARY_EXIST
:NO_PRIMARY
::Do nothing

:PRIMARY_EXIST
::Do something
