Partition Table Reader and Hide/Reveal Tool

Release date: 1.1.2006

About the Program

This program is a part of my project to read the ext2 Linux file system under DOS or Windows 98. It reads the partition table of your hard disk, prints information about each partition, and can hide and reveal partitions by changing the system ID of those partitions.

Caution

Modification of the code may make your disk unusable. The author is not responsible for any damage or data loss.

Compatibility and Compilation

  • This program is tested under Windows 98.
  • Compile it with Turbo C 3.

For any comments, feedback, or queries, email [email protected].
