How to build a Partition Magic boot disk. Format a 1.44 floppy disk and choose the option to "copy system files". (must be done on a Windows 9x machine) Then copy the Partition Magic files listed below to that floppy. Partition Magic Files: C:\Program Files\PowerQuest\PartitionMagic X.0\DOS Mouse.com Mouse.ini Pmhelp.dat Pqdata.002 Pqmagic.exe Pqmagic.ovl Pqmagic (it's a shortcut to DOS) Pqmagic.pqg Pqpb.rtc zABOUT.PQG If you don't have access to a 9x machine down load a boot disk from: http://www.bootdisk.com and copy the system files listed below to that floppy. Windows System Files: Command.com Drvspace.bin Io.sys Msdos.sys To make life easy you need to create an "autoexe.bat" file. to do that, open "notepad" and copy these strings: @echo off MOUSE.COM echo Loading... PQMAGIC.EXE to it and "save as" autoexe.bat then copy that to your floppy. You now have a P.M. boot disk to do all of your work from DOS. Serge A. Storms

Partition Magic uses 2 boot disks. And all you have to do is have the Partition Magic program itself built the boot disks and it doesn't require using a Win 9X system to make them either.

Build this one and you only need 1
