splat Help Unloading SoundBlaster drivers



I recently purchased PartitionMagic 8.0 and after reading the manual I see that my sound card might create a conflict. It mentions that the dos drivers for my SoundBlaster Live sound card may conflict with Partition Magic operations that require going into boot mode. They recommend that I unload the SoundBlaster drivers by remarking them in my config.sys and autoexec.bat files, until I have finished using PartitionMagic. Could you please instruct me? Do I go into msconfig? Went out on Symantec site but did not find any information there. Sure would appreciate your help.

What version of Windows are you using ? The DOS drivers don't work with Windows 2000 and XP, they can only be installed on old Win9x. And if I remember correctly, you have to install them by yourself, they don't get installed automatically along with the Windows drivers.
