PQBoot for Windows
You can use PQBoot for Windows in conjunction with BootMagic to switch to another
operating system without changing your BootMagic configuration settings.
You can also use PQBoot for Windows without having BootMagic installed. Then the
settings you choose are “sticky” and will be in effect until you run PQBoot for Windows
again or change the active partition with PartitionMagic.
1 Click Start ➤ Programs ➤ Norton PartitionMagic 8.0 ➤ PartitionMagic 8.0
Tools
➤ PQBoot for Windows.
Under Windows 95/98/Me, PQBoot for Windows will only run if PQVXD.VXD is in
the same directory as PQBOOT32.EXE.
PQBoot for Windows displays the primary partitions on your first hard disk.
2 Choose the partition that you want to boot to.
PQBoot for Windows will enable you to choose a partition that does not include an
operating system. If there is no operating system on the active partition, you must
have rescue disks or a boot disk to perform any operations.
3 Click Restart Now to reboot to the new partition immediately, or click Restart Later
to boot to that partition the next time you boot the computer.
4 Click OK.
