                           DI (Disk Information) 
 

Description:   Displays technical information about a disk drive. Includes
               device type, drive number, bytes per sector, sectors per
               cluster, number of file allocation (FAT) tables, bad clusters,
               etc. 
 

Syntax:        Version 4.0, 4.5:   DI [(drive:)] 
 
                                Parameters: 
 
(drive:)       The single-letter specifier (A:, B:, C:, etc.) for the drive
               you want to process. Follow the letter with a colon. The
               current drive is the default. If you are using a floppy disk
               drive, you must have a formatted disk in the drive to receive
               complete information. 
 
                                   Notes:

DI returns an encoded media descriptor value to describe the disk type. The
following table lists and defines the values that are valid: 
 





               Hex value  Meaning 
 
               F0   1.4-MB 31/2-inch floppy disk 
 
               F8   Hard disk (all types) 
 
               F9   1.2-MB 51/4-inch floppy disk or 720-KB 31/2-inch floppy
                    disk 
 
               FD   360-KB 51/4-inch floppy disk 
 
               FE   160-KB 51/4-inch floppy disk 
 
               FF   320-KB 51/4-inch floppy disk 
 
For the drive number, the utility returns 0 for drive A,   1 for drive B, and
so on.
