When you installed Partition Magic it asked you to make boot floppies. If you had those, you could boot into dos with a dos version of Partition Magic running. But i think you said you dont have a floppy drive. Try this. Have someone install Partition Magic and make the disks. Then burn a bootable cd with dos on it, and the contents of the PartitionMagic floppies. It might work. I have also seen a recovery cd image somewhere on the net that had partition magic on it. However, that would be illegal to use since you'd be getting a pirated copy But since you own a copy of partition magic anyway... Decide for yourself, im not going to advertise illegal software here
Hm...good idea. I'll install PM on this machine tomorrow (heading off to bed right now), and create the boot disks and such.

If anyone would like to guide me through this, just PM me *at this moment, I think it'd very advisable that someone do guide me through all this*
