To use F8 to keep programs from loading
- You can press < F8 > immediately after you boot your computer (while DOS is booting). As DOS reads the each command in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, it asks if you want the command executed. When you see commands that load device drivers or TSR programs not needed to run PartitionMagic, press <N> to prevent the software from loading into memory.
