Yeah, I have used PartitionMagic for years and never had problems with it. It's a decent recommendation over the other products being discussed. The interface is straight-forward enough that one refers to the manuals only sparingly. One of the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Hi! I've used both and they should be able to do what you want if you boot from a DOS-type floppy (make a rescue disk from a Windows '98 computer, works splendid and even starts most common CD-drives) and start Ghost or PQDI from there.
