Richard,
I will double-check my Partition Magic docs, but I'm a long-term user of
the program (it's really the greatest) and I *usually* have to use the
included Text-mode module because I use OS/2 and HPFS. If you can boot to
DOS via a floppy, than you should be able to use the DOS text-mode version
to play with your partitions.
You should dig around their web site...they might have some info and their
customer service reps are quite helpful as well.
