Purpose: Used to store information about a disk`s file allocation
boot record, and root directory (to be used later for file recovery).
Version 6, this program is stored on the DOS supplemental disk.)
The MIRROR command is used to save information that can be used later for

/partn v Used to save a copy of the drive`s partition table on a diskette

/T - Loads a memory-resident deletion-tracking program into memory.
