Fdisk is a command line utility included with MS DOS that allows you to format or partition hard drives. Since Windows NT, Fdisk has been replaced by diskpart, a more advanced partitioning tool. The last version of Windows that comes with Fdisk was Windows 98 with a DOS shell, which later versions of Windows do not have. The Fdisk program has a 512GB maximum limit size of hard drive, so Fdisk only partially works in Windows XP. Fdisk knows nothing about NTFS which is the default file system in Windows 7 and the later versions of Windows, so it is useless in Windows 7. As the facts mentioned above, if you want to install any old system on an old PC, you can use Fdisk, but for Windows 10/8/7, you are most likely need a free alternative to Fdisk to manage your drives.
To be a perfect replacement of Fdisk, one must at least
1. Fully support Windows 10/8/8.1/7
2. Be easy to understand and operate
3. Have the basic functions regarding drives management
4. Be safe without data loss
5. Be able to run from command prompt
