I'm really sorry for creating that a mess, I started this thread
only because fdisk recognize _OTHER_ hidden partition and I would
like to add hidden FAT32 to that _existing_ list.
Sorry for wasting your time. :(
Anyway, if you check this you can find symmetric partition type (as
written in .../fdisk.c,v 1.66 2002/10/27 10:52:54 phk):
real ,{0x01, "Primary DOS with 12 bit FAT"}
hidden ,{0x11, "OS/2 BM: hidden DOS with 12-bit FAT"}
real ,{0x04, "Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT (< 32MB)"}
hidden ,{0x14, "OS/2 BM: hidden DOS with 16-bit FAT (< 32MB)"}
real ,{0x06, "Primary 'big' DOS (>= 32MB)"}
hidden ,{0x16, "OS/2 BM: hidden DOS with 16-bit FAT (>= 32MB)"}
real ,{0x07, "OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX"}
hidden ,{0x17, "OS/2 BM: hidden IFS (e.g. HPFS)"}
Only for this I added 0x1B/0x1C as hidden version of 0x0B/0x0C.
real ,{0x0B, "DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT"}
myidea ,{0x1B, "Hidden DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT"}
real ,{0x0C, "DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT (LBA)"}
myidea ,{0x1C, "Hidden DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT (LBA)"}
Riccardo.
