Command Line Switches

To run the FDISK utility:  FDISK [/X]

To display a summary of the partition structure on all hard drives: FDISK [/STATUS]

To create partitions without going through the standard FDISK menus:
FDISK [/X] drive [/PRI:size] [/EXT:size] [/LOG:size] [/PRMT | /Q]

To rewrite the Master Boot Record (without altering the partition table information):
FDISK /MBR

 /X    Ignores extended disk-access support. This switch may be needed if disk access
        or stack overflow errors occur
 /MBR  Re-writes the Master Boot Record based on the current disk structure. This
        switch can be used to repair a Master Boot Record that has been corrupted or
        damaged.
 /PRI  Creates a Primary Partition.
 /EXT Creates an Extended Partition.
 /LOG Creates a Logical DOS Volume in the Extended Partition.
 drive The drive number.
 size  The size of the partition (in Mb or as a percentage of the available space).
 /PRMT Prompts for action
 /Q    Quiet - no messages displayed during processing


The undocumented switches (/PRI, /EXT, and /LOG) can be used from the command line
or in a batch file and could be useful if a number of new drives are to be prepared
similarly.

Undocumented:
/FPRMT Allows you to use Fat32 on a <520mb Hard Drive. (OEM & 98 ver. only)

I hope this is what you are looking for...
