If the GDisk commands will operate on the various disks, specify the disk number on each line of the batch file. If all the GDisk commands will operate on the same fixed physical disk, specify the disk number on the GDisk command-line that calls the batch file or on each line of the batch file. In the text file, GDisk ignores blank lines and lines starting with the hash symbol (#). The name of the text file must follow DOS conventions, but the filename extension does not have to be TXT. GDisk opens the file and executes the commands within the file until all commands have been executed or one of the commands encounters an error. Using the /BATCH command with the name of a text file allows GDisk commands to be supplied without user intervention during GDisk operation. Specifying /BATCH commands in a text file Partition Status Type Volume Label Mbytes System Usageĭ: 3 *CREATED* LOG DOS Unformatted 507.9 FAT16 17% This session creates an extended partition on the second physical disk.Ĭomplete the following command (ENTER to quit): Here is an example of how an interactive session might look.

If the command-line calls a batch file, the switches specified on the command-line are run after running the commands contained in the batch file. Switch lists the command-line parameters (switches). If no filename is provided, GDisk prompts the user (interactively) for the command-line parameters. This command is optional.įilename provides GDisk with the name of the text file that includes multiple GDisk commands. BATCH tells GDisk that it will be executing multiple GDisk commands. Gdisk /BATCH ]ĭisk tells GDisk which fixed physical disk (1 through 8) the commands apply to. GDisk's batch mode uses the following command-line format: The operations can be specified interactively at a DOS command-line, or they can be supplied in advance in a text file. The batch mode switch, /BATCH, allows GDisk to perform multiple operations with a single command. The format of this command is:įor instance, the following command displays information regarding deleting partitions: Help on a particular operation is available by using the switch for the operation without additional parameters. General help is available by using the ? switch: In addition, GDisk provides help from the command-line. These commands can be run from the DOS command-line or from a batch file (/BATCH).
