About Create Rescue Disk
Use Create Rescue Disk to create disks you can use to boot your computer and run PartitionMagic for DOS (PQMAGIC). The rescue disks are useful when you have:
1. Hidden the partition where PartitionMagic is installed and need to run PartitionMagic to unhide the partition.
2. Accidentally converted a partition to FAT32 or NTFS and your operating system does not support that file system, so your computer will not boot. (You can use the rescue disks to convert the partition back to FAT.)
3. Other occasions arise when you do not have access to PartitionMagic on the CD or hard drive.
The rescue disks contain the following files:
If you create rescue disks for a double-byte language, you will need a third disk for the fonts.
