Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. On personal computer operating systems, fdisk is a commonly used name for a command-line utility that provides disk partitioning functions. fdisk writes the master boot record. IBM introduced fdisk, Fixed Disk Setup Program version 1.00, with the March 1983 release of the IBM PC/XT, the first PC to store data on a hard disk, and the IBM Personal Computer DOS version 2.0. Version 1 could be used to create one FAT12 DOS partition, delete it, change the active partition or display partition data. The master boot record supported up to four partitions, and the other three were intended for other operating systems such as CP/M-86 and Xenix, which were expected to have their own partitioning utilities as fdisk did not support them.
