    Early versions of the fdisk program included with Windows 95 could only create FAT12 and FAT16 partitions, while later versions included with Windows 95B and newer versions of Windows 98 and ME gained the ability to manipulate FAT32 partitions. In contrast to fdisk programs for other operating systems, the DOS and Windows 9x/ME versions not only altered data in the partition table but could overwrite data sectors in partitions as well, requiring users to verify the correct disk/partition is selected before partitioning to avoid data loss.

    Most DOS fdisk programs, including the fdisk program that came with the

    original Windows

    95, are only capable of creating FAT partitions of types FAT12 and FAT16.

    A derivative of the MS-DOS fdisk was provided with Windows 95, Windows

    98, and

    laterWindows

    Me. Only those fdisk versions shipping with Windows 95B or later are able to
    manipulate FAT32 partitions. Windows 2000 and later do not use fdisk, they have
    the Logical

    Disk Manager feature, as well as DiskPart.

    Unlike the fdisk programs for other operating systems, the fdisk programs for DOS and

    partition table, but will also overwrite many sectors of


    data in the partition itself.
    (However, to create an extended partition any partition
    editor must put extended boot records before each logical drive on the disk.) Users must
    Windows 9x/Me not only alter data in the
    [citation needed]

    be sure the correct disk/partition has been chosen before using a DOS/Windows fdisk for
    partitioning.
    The implementation of fdisk in FreeDOS has many advanced features and is free

    software.
