Scenario I can't figure out please help

[cbm24]

Scenario:



Pentium IV System



HDD #1---40GB on primary IDE Controller set at Cable Select...WIN2000 Pro Operating System



HDD# 2--4GB HDD on Secondary Controller set at Cable Select...old data HDD w/Win95 Operating System.



After transferring data files from "D" to "C," reboot PC w/floppy disk under DOS and run FDISK from A:.



Accept Enable Large Hard Disk Support, verify there are two fixed drives one at 38000+ , and the other at 4010 or so.



Change the fixed drive to 2.



Verify Primary DOS partition space as 4010 (or so), and select delete primary DOS partition. Accept all answers, and say "Y" to are you sure.



Question? If you delete a second hard drive's partition, would it be possible to also delete the fixed hard drive one's partition as well? If not why? If so why?



Can the FDISK program be modified in any way to satisfy individual business criteria?

Booting from boot floppy, you can generally remove any partition on any hard drive using fdisk (for example, it doesn't know if there are operating systems or anything else on the partitions).

What sort of modifications are you thinking of - there are a number of partitioning tools, freeware and commercial you can use if you need more options (eg, Partition Magic).
