No, Nor will PM5. Ver. 4 has to reboot to DOS to work and ME no longer has real mode DOS. Ver 5 will work in some instances. In some situations Ver 5 can make the changes from within Windows, but in other situations, it too must reboot to real mode DOS.

Hal: Interesting - PM5 works in NT, which has less real mode DOS than ME.......I did search Powerquest's site - and their knowledge base is way behind the times.

I would bet that this would work - sys a floppy with Win 95B or better (for fat32 support) and copy pqmagict.exe from PM4 onto the bootfloppy - or its own floppy. Its about a meg as I remember. Thats the barebones command line based version of PM4 - and I don't leave home without it. Run it after booting with a barebones floppy.

Yea... I kinda figured that might work, but doing a standard install and trying to run it will not. PM5 won't let you do the install.
