Acronis True Image, Partition Magic and Multi-boot Systems
I have a couple of questions which have arisen from a thread on the
Acronis forum - no real answer was forthcoming, although Acronis offered to help on an individual basis. Basically, they said the answer was "very complicated". I am trying to get some more insight on the following situation for later use: 1. I have a system setup for dual boot using PartitionMagic 8.01 (performed by a friend, win xp pro and win98se). If I want to delete the win98se, the instructions say to uninstall BootMagic (the PM boot manager) before deleting the partition and resizing and moving the other partition. Does this PM process automatically create the proper boot.ini file for the remaining XP partition? Does the above still apply if instead of a win98se partition, I had a second XP partition that I wanted to remove? 2. If I later want to use TI to restore the deleted win98se partition (or second XP partition), is the appropriate boot.ini file automatically created? I would appreciate any help I can get in understanding what is involved here. Thanks, Harvey |
