multiple .img files for one app
how to add an app like partition magic that has two floppies?
Two options that I am aware of:
First is to follow the tutorial on http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/pm8.html
The second way you might consider doing this is to dispense with the mouse and fit Partition Magic onto the one floppy (That's the way I've always done it, got fed up of carrying so many floppies around):
Take a Windows 95/98 boot disk containing only io.sys, msdos.sys and command.com and copy onto it (from the 2 Partition Magic floppies) the following:
autoexec.bat
pqmagic.exe
pqmagic.ovl
pqmagic.pqg
pqpb.rtc.
zabout.pqg
Oen of them is hidden so make sure you track it down.
Edit your Autoexec.bat so it looks as follows:
If you are hellbent on having a mouse you could experiment with putting cutemouse on there (it's pretty small) and edit your autoexec.bat accordingly.
If space is not an issue for you go with the first option above (the tutorial).
By the way, any fans of Drive Image or Drive Copy (binned by Symantec) can do the same - the files are named similarly. Also Ghost will work off the one floppy.
