NOTE: Norton Ghost and knowledge of this application is required to perform the following steps.
GDISK can use text input and an input. Each line in the text file contains 1 command and GDISK should exit after issuing the last command.
To invoke GDISK using a text file as input, use the following command syntax:
GDISK [disk] /BATCH[:filename]
(eg. GDISK 1 /BATCH:my_commands.txt)
Each line of the text file should contain the switches as if issuing commands manually.
eg. contents of my_commands.txt
/cre /pri /sz:10240 /for /q
/cre /ext
/cre /log /for /q
Omitting the [disk] designation on the original command line, you can use that in the
my_commands.txt
file. GDISK would be invoked using: GDISK /BATCH:my_commands.txt
eg. contents of my_commands.txt
1 /cre /pri /sz:10240 /for /q
1 /cre /ext
1 /cre /log /for /q
2 /cre /ext
2 /cre /log /for /q
Another script from DISKPART.EXE CMD, the DISKPART.EXE should be in 1 QRCD:
Here is the script:
Type diskpart
Type select disk 0
Type create partition primary
Type assign letter c
Type Exit
Type Exit
Save under filename.txt
From the prompt, type DISKPART /S FILENAME.TXT.
