It worked, except for two snags easily stepped around with points 3 thru 5. The Win98 boot won't let you take out the CD, and believe it or not, there is no fomat.com available?!

So instead I went back to eCS console, dropped down to an OS/2 window and formated the tiny partition. Then I put in a CDR with the PMagic 4.0 DOS executables and copied, then continued as outlined ...

3)  Boot with the Win98 CD to a DOS prompt
4)  Format (d), this will become a tiny FAT C: drive, and the only partition recognized on the drive by DOS at the moment.
5)  Having burned the Partition Magic "boot"  diskette contents to a CDR, now insert that CDR and copy those PM files to the 15Mb C: partition.

Whoa, sorry about this OFF-TOPIC post, exit stage left ....
