Bootable 2 part CD - Anyone know if this is possible? (stupid title)
I have partition magic and the rescue disks consist of two. I hate boot disks so I want to make a bootable cd. I know how to make a bootable cd but what I want to do is be able to put both diskettes on one cd that way I don’t have to use 2 cds.
I have tried making the first Cd bootable with the first diskette and then copying the second diskette to the cd but that was a no go. Has anyone done this before?

Hmm...
I've found some items. Perhaps you can find what you are looking for there. http://search.pcworld.com/query.html...a=en&fl0=&op0= (BTW, a Reyes Magos gift should be coming your way soon  )

Try copying both disks onto one CD, boot from that CD, then run pqmagic.exe
FYI, a win98 boot disk an be substituted for the first PQmagic floppy.

Hi Doobie, Sorry I led you down a dead-end road...My bad. I didn't realize that even though you boot from CD, it still looks for the floppy. I wasn't at my home computer so I jumped the gun & posted W/O testing first.
 What I ended up doing was: used Nero, a win 98 boot disk, and the files from PM disk 2 to make a bootable CD. Then I run pqmagic.exe. It works great; alot faster than the two PM floppy disks. I even added a couple of other dos programs that I often use. |
