Subject: Deleting Econet Partitions

Thanks for this, it's very handy and works with the CF drive as well.  I
modified it slightly to accept drive numbers 2 & 3 which the CF drive
support and it correctly detected the Econet partitions on all 4 "drives"
on the 2 CF cards.

I must remember to run this on any ADFS disc I'm planning to format
to detect where there is any Econet partition I'd forgotten about.

Best wishes,


Ian

Try http://www.irrelevant.com/bbc/00000015.zip

(It's a single sided disc image.  )

I've only ever re-formatted the disc. Not usually a big deal, since
most times there's little on the drive on the ADFS side bar the
fileserver code itself.  Even the econet initialiser itself is too
dumb to cope wiht an existing partition - it tries to reduce the drive
space further..  It might be possible to write something based on it
that does the reverse, but I've not heard of it existing.
