How to form partititons of your hard disk in bios without windows xp cd?

Answer 1

You can't partition a disk from within the BIOS, you have to either use the built in Disk Management utility, or use a third party partition utility such as Partition Magic.

Answer 2

With Windows XP you use a program called "DiskPart".

DiskPart.exe is a text-mode command interpreter that enables you to manage objects (disks, partitions, or volumes) by using scripts or direct input from a command prompt. Before you can use DiskPart.exe commands on a disk, partition, or volume, you must first list and then select the object to give it focus. When an object has focus, any DiskPart.exe commands that you type act on that object.

You can list the available objects and determine an object's number or drive letter by using the list disk, list volume, and list partition commands. The list disk and list volume commands display all disks and volumes on the computer. However, the list partition command only displays partitions on the disk that has focus. When you use the list commands, an asterisk (*) appears next to the object with focus. You select an object by its number or drive letter, such as disk 0, partition 1, volume 3, or volume C.

When you select an object, the focus remains on that object until you select a different object. For example, if the focus is set on disk 0, and you select volume 8 on disk 2, the focus shifts from disk 0 to disk 2, volume 8. Some commands automatically change the focus. For example, when you create a new partition, the focus automatically switches to the new partition.

You can only give focus to a partition on the selected disk. When a partition has focus, the related volume (if any) also has focus. When a volume has focus, the related disk and partition also have focus if the volume maps to a single specific partition. If this is not the case, then focus on the disk and partition is lost.

Answer 3

I prefer a program caled Digital Dolly 1.0*. This is a non-platform specific program. It boots from a CD. This is not just a partition manager. It is a full featured Disk manager.
If you just what to create partition and don't care about all the rest go to BootDisk.com**. Make sure you download the proper version depending on which OS you will install.

Answer 4

I don't know whether any bios can make the disk partition. But if you have a DOS floppy disk, you can use fdisk to make partitions. Likely there is such a file in windows. Try searching the fdisk file.
