Reply: Do you mean, "After I've created the partition with fdisk what do I do next?" You need to format it, as in format c:. When it's done the drive will be usable.

Reply: "get the driver info" , driver here means driver letter ,such as C:,D:,E: and so on.
the version of DOS is MS-DOS 6 and up.
I think maybe DPB is useful? but it doesn't contain disk No and partition No info.

Reply: Fdisk, option 4, would seem to provide the partition and drive letter information you're looking for. MSD might help. I guess it'll depend on exactly what you want.

Reply: You might try posting in the 'programming' forum. (edit) FDISK/STATUS probably provides the info you need and may be easier to program if you're trying to mimic the command.
