Problems solved by technology

However, the disadvantage of this method is that the relevant information in the system memory cannot be modified immediately, but the computer must be restarted to update the relevant information, so the work efficiency is low and the operation process is not continuous

Embodiment Construction

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a hard disk is divided into multiple subregions (i.e. C district, D district, E district, F district...), first execute the standard partition program, then execute the self-defined transfer program, Then find the address of the BPDB table, DDPB table and CDS table that store the partition characteristic information through the DOS pointer sequence, modify the contents of these three tables according to the obtained relevant information, and then rewrite the starting addresses of these tables into the memory In the corresponding address, replace the BPDB table, DDPB table and CDS table that store the original partition information, so that there is no need to restart the computer, and the relevant parameters after the partition are saved by the system hard disk, so the user does not need to restart the computer manually At this time, for these partitions, multiple formatting (Format) programs are respectively executed t...

Abstract

A formatting method includes such steps as driving a hard disk into more partitions (C,D,E,F,...); executing self-defined transfer program to automatically modify contents of the BPDB, DDPB and CDS tables, in which the partition characteristics informatino is stored, according to the partition information set up by user; and rewriting the initial addresses of said tables to the relative address of system memory for replacing original tables. As a result, the parameters after partitioning can be automatically stored in system memory without restarting computer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for performing formatting, especially a method for performing formatting without restarting a computer. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, if a user wants to partition and format a hard disk, the usual way is as follows: figure 1 As shown, first execute the partition program (Fdisk) (step 101), and the hard disk at this time has recorded the partition information; after performing the partition operation, restart the computer (Reboot) (step 102); Drive parameter data block (BIOS Drive Parameter Block; BDPB), DOS drive parameter data block (Dos Drive Parameter Block; DDPB), the new data introduction system memory (step 103) of current directory structure (Current Directory Structure; CDS) table; Then Execute formatter (Format), hard disk is formatted, and its process comprises finding dos pointer sequence (step 104); Find the position of BDPB table in internal memory by dos pointer sequence (step 1...
