If you are here its for UNIX not MS-DOS...
Welcome by the way...
I suggest you get a copy of knoppix or something equivalent and put your hands in it, if after a week you are not discouraged you can try to get a linux installed on your PC...
-- addendum... ---
A knoppix is what I suggest to all new folk that have never seen a unix/linux OS before, for you boot from the CD or DVD and just let it do the job for you ... no install, when you have finished playing with it you exit and thats it your PC is back to what it was...
only all you mount will be Readonly...
Better still or while loading or looking for a knoppix, load vi for PC and start to learn vi ! Yes very important if you wish to learn seriously UNIX/linux

minfo(1) General Commands Manual minfo(1)
Name
minfo - print the parameters of a MSDOS filesystem
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
end of this man page for details.
Description
The minfo command prints the parameters of a Dos filesystem, such as number of sectors, heads and cylinders. It also prints an mformat
command line which can be used to create a similar Dos filesystem on another media. However, this doesn't work with 2m or Xdf media, and
with Dos 1.0 filesystems minfo drive:
Mlabel supports the following option:
v Prints a hexdump of the bootsector, in addition to the other information

Mtools' texinfo doc
Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you
to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at: `http://mtools.linux.lu' and also at: `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
