Comment:
I have 2 FAT16 partions with a dualboot of Win95 and NT4. I couldn't install or use a zipped PartionMagic on my system. I unzipped it, but there's no setup or installable files. Just a bunch of DOS .EXEs and other files. I need to make more than one primary Partition, but when I try to resize a partion I get errors. Now I want delete all partions and start from scratch. Is it possible to copy the PQMAGICT.exe to DOS startup disk and make more than one primary partition(which is my goal).

Well, you can use the non-GUI PartitionMagic from system floppy(not sure the GUI one). You can also have more than one Primary partition, but better boot with BootMagic.
