MS DOS Commands

DOS got safe mode one meh?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:This one is OK as long as no programs are running and no screensaver, except disk defragmenter.
Best to run in Safe Mode, without anything disturbing it.
fdisk is what you need to be careful.
fdisk can delete or create partitions, once you do that, bye bye.
