partition magic 4.0 or warp4.0 boot

Comment:
I have restored an os2/winnt4.0 backup to a new harddisk using ghost. Normally, it will corrupt the bootmanager so as to "remove" the os2 partition(warp4.0) from the bootmanager list. I use to use a Partition Magic 4.0 rescue disk to reinsert that os2 partition into the list and all is well.
However, this time, my rescue disk has gone kaput and it is my only one away from home. Therefore, can anyone tell me where to get one from the net? Partition magic 7.0's rescue disk does not seem to be able to read the bootmanager list.
