    Congratulations on your new laptop. I always prefer setting up partitions and editing them from DOS. I am sure PQ magic 8 would have a feature to make a bootable floppy or CD to do things from DOS. I have personally faced some errors which I coudlnt get around with in PQmagic 8. Use Ranish Partition Manager to get it done from DOS.
    You could think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to stop thinking.
