Hello Walnut Creek CDROM Support,
I have a complaint and/or question regarding the availability of =
Partition Magic with your FreeBSD distribution.=20
I recently purchased the "BSD Desktop Edition" (FreeBSD OS 4.1) at a =
nearby CompUSA. This 4 CD kit includes PowerQuest's Partition Magic =
Special Edition on the 4th "Extra Packages" CD. But when I attempted to =
install and run Partition Magic I found that the apparently some file(s) =
of Partition Magic are missing.=20
According to the directions in the "ReadMe", after I installed and =
re-booted I should have been able to start the Prep OS utility and =
defined a partition for another OS. But there didn't appear to be any =
icon in the "PartitionMagic OS Prep Tool" START menu folder to do this =
as there was only the following choices: "Delete FreeBSD Partition", =
"PowerQuest Web Site", "ReadMe" and "Uninstall PartitionMagic" . And =
there appeared to be no obvious application to execute to start it all =
off either.
Here's the details:
After installation the PM OS files on my hard disk are as follows:
Volume in drive C is HP_PAVILION
Volume Serial Number is 1D73-11EB

Incidentally, I DID try executing PQOSPT.EXE but only got an error =
message that a script file parameter was missing.
My system is a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion 8705 and its configuration:

Please take a look at this and if at all possible please make the =
missing file(s) available to me.
Respectfully,
Al Piccolo
