PM rescuse disks if no floppy drive?

[Jeff Malka]

I have a laptop with no floppy drive. A common thing these days,
When using Partition magic, the only way to create rescue disks seems to be
on a floppy. Does anyone have a solution other than buying a removable
floppy?

If you have Partition Magic version 8, suggest you read page 3 of the Quick
Start Guide. Or, page 5 of the online Users Guide.

Thanks, I read it.

Does this mean that instead of the rescue disks I can just use the PM CD to
bootup with instead? I have had several versions of PM and had therefore
thought that the rescue disks were essential, which I think they were in
previous versions.
