Comment:
Is there any tools/programs to list what partitions (including non DOS) partitions are on a hard drive?
For example, lets say I have a drive with two FAT32 partitions, a NTFS partition and an EXT3 partition. I need a program to identify the partition signatures like on this page: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitio...
I don't think this is possible, but it would help me out greatly.
do a search for "ranish partiton manager" it can identify many different partition types includion ext2 also the fdisk.exe that comes with freedos also can identify the partition type from the partition signature. but performancewise fdisk.exe of freedos is not very satisfactory. there is also a preogram called aefdisk.exe that can identify some partition types, but i do not know whether it can identify ext2
Thanks, I'll look into it. Ideally, I would like to be able to do just issue a command to get a list of partition, but I think that is wishful thinking...
aefdisk.exe can do exactly what you want. i.e. with a single command ("aefdisk /show") you will get a list of all available partitions in a given hard disk.
