WDe and GPT, booting DOS (Users)

posted by Richard, 03.01.2023, 05:17

I hope that the author of Trace203.com (Trace.com) will consider adding the following feature requests to Trace203....



1. indicate the status (e.g., "Active") of the drive



2. in BRIGHT RED (say) (non-blinking since blinking causes screen shot issue) indicate the partition-style.

Blank --> MBR (default)
"GPT" --> in bright red


Typically, the whole physical disk has all partitions the same partition-style (MBR or GPT only) - i.e., no perhaps hybrid partition-styles (combined MBR and GPT partitions).



3. The Operating System (e.g. MS-DOS 7.1, FreeDOS) that is currently running.



4. If BIOS set to Legacy, CSM(+UEFI), or (UEFI) - last option not a reality (yet).



5. If the drive is a RAMdrive (blank (default) = physical drive)


The reasons for the feature requests are that when I have a number of screen captures, it is nice to know these operating conditions - and TRACE is a very convenient (and concise) tool to apply to screen captures.
