How to Create Partition Magic Boot CD?

First of all, you must have a CD-burning software which create boot CD like Nero or Roxio.

The Partition Magic rescue floppy disk contains a Dos Boot disk and the Partition Magic program. The only extra step to make a Boot CD is adding the contents to the CD.

Prepare a Win98 bootable floppy. If you do not have one, please download from internet. Then launch your burning software, and use the DOS boot floppy as the source image for your bootable CD project.

And then drag the following files into the burning CD:

• pqmagic.exe
• pqmagic.ovl
• pqmagic.pqg
• pqpb.rtc
• pmhelp.dat
• mouse.com

You can copy directly from the rescue floppy disk or drag to the Boot CD direct these should be on rescue floppy, or drag directly from the Partition Magic CD (\english\dosmake\disk2 directory.)

Edit the config.sys file on the boot floppy to eliminate the useless "without CD support?" boot option, as you'll always be booting the CD with CD support.

Burn the files to the CD and use the Boot CD to boot. Make sure DOS drive letter is assigned to the CD drive. When booting is finished, you'll be left at the A:\ prompt. Switch to the CD drive letter ("CD e:", for example), thenlaunch pqmagic.exe. Now Partition Magic is running on DOS.
