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.

"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.

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.

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.
