GDISK is Symantec's replacement for Microsoft's FDISK command. GDISK does everything that FDISK does, plus it has a few additional features that make it more versatile than FDISK. GDISK will allow you to format your partition as you are creating it - and it does it quickly! You can also hide and unhide partitions. GDISK will also allow you to delete partitions created by other operating systems. Getting rid of partitions created by some types of unix OSes can be difficult if not impossible at times for FDISK, but GDISK can delete them easily. GDISK is also command-line driven. You don't have a confusing menu and if you are preparing several harddisks or systems, you can even prepare a file of commands that can be run in batch mode to automate the process.
Also, it is easy to use the linux installation / format routines to format a partion as a fat16 for dos use.
If you have any other ms questions for this linux forum, please don't hesitate to ask.
