Norton PartitionMagic 91
Supported Operating Systems
BootMagic can be configured to boot to the following operating systems:
Installing BootMagic
You can install BootMagic from Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT
4.0, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows XP.
1 Insert the PartitionMagic CD in your CD drive.
2 Click BootMagic from the PartitionMagic setup screen, then click Install to launch
the BootMagic installation program.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions to install BootMagic.
BootMagic can be installed to any FAT or FAT32 partition (primary or logical). If
your system only has NTFS partitions, see “Installing BootMagic on an NTFS
System” on page 92 or consider using PQBoot for Windows instead of BootMagic.
See “PQBoot for Windows” on page 86.
4 After installation is complete, click Back ➤ Exit to close the setup screen.
After installation, BootMagic sorts through your system’s hard disks, looking at the
partition tables and gathering information about each currently installed operating system.
BootMagic then automatically runs the configuration program, adding every detected OS
to the BootMagic Menu.
At this point, it may be necessary for you to edit the items that appear in the menu list.
While BootMagic reliably detects most operating systems, it may also detect some
non-OS partitions. For example, if you have a primary NTFS data partition (that is, a
partition which contains only data, no OS) on the first disk, BootMagic may detect it as
•Windows 98
•Windows 95
•Windows Me
•Windows NT 4.0
• Windows NT 3.51
• Windows 3.x (must be installed
with DOS 5 or later)
• MS-DOS 5.0 or later
• Windows 2000

• PC-DOS 6.1 or later
