Please help me!
I tried to integrate the two floppies from partiion magic 8 into my easy boot cd and when i boot from it and select the menu item coresponding to the 2 floppies it dispalys this: "Can`t load dos".
I used xoben method to integrate
the 2 floppies.
What other disk partitioning tools similar to partition magic 8 wich can be integrated in easy boot cd do you no?

konix,

Here's what I did to get my PowerQuest tools onto a boot disk...

I first installed my PartitionMagic and DriveImage onto a Windows 98 system. When you install these programs onto a Windows 98 system, the DOS programs are installed for you automatically. Installing on Windows 2000 or XP, the DOS programs are not available.

I then just copied out of the folders, the DOS programs that I needed. I made a Win98 bootable (don't use a DOS bootable floppy if you need FAT32 support, use 95b or 98) floppy that loads CD-Rom drivers. I then used < WinImage 6.1 > to convert that floppy into an Image that I can stick into my EZBoot menu. I can now boot off the CD and run my PowerQuest programs (and Norton Ghost and whatever else I stick on there) directly from the CD.

I still use EZBoot though because there are some utilities that I use that require the use of the floppy they came with (like mfg. specific hard drive diagnostics tools).
