Free copy of EASEUS Partition Master 6.5.1 Professional (TODAY ONLY)

[bubbaQ]

Normally, the giveaway-of-the-day stuff is not so useful, but this is a decent program for manipulating partitions since Partition Magic is gone.

 

You must download and install it today, as it checks the registration server to do the install.

 

This is the professional version, that includes features not available in the free version... such as making a boot disk that you can then use as a standalone version for manipulating partition tables anywhere.

Awesome find, I was looking for a cheap and easy widows based partitioning software. Thanks for the link.

Is it possible to install and put image into a .iso file that would boot under syslinux?  My experience with this type of software is that you often need it at times where a computer won't boot, and being able to run something like this from a USB stick would be extremely useful.

 

If someone knows how to do this, and can provide foolproof instructions while the deal is open, it would be awesome!

There are utilities that can make a bootable USB stick from a bootable ISO.

Is that your best attempt at "foolproof instructions"?

Yes it is easily possible to boot an iso image under syslinux.

you will need to copy the .iso file to your flash drive and also the memdisk file from the syslinux distribution.

 

Then add three lines to your syslinux.cfg similar to these two examples:

label Parted Magic (Live CD)

 kernel memdisk

 append iso initrd=pmagic-4.9.iso

 

label Hard Disk Sentinel for DOS

 kernel memdisk

 append iso initrd=hdsdos.iso

A compiled version of memdisk is available in the source zip file from here:

Any chance this could be used to see / re-format a ReiserFS HDD that I pulled from unRaid and would like to re-purpose for the Windows environment?

I'm not trying to save any of the data on the drive, I just want to wipe and format as NTFS so that I can use in Windows.

no need.... just:

hook the drive up to the windows machine

go to disk management (right click the [My]Computer icon and pick Manage)

select the correct drive in the lower graphical window and right click

delete the existing partition

create & format a new partition

done

Fools come in industrial strength these days --- awful hard to do anything that is foolproof now.

Yep - understand that part. Already have a DOS image (that I downloaded).

 

My question is more on how to go about building the ISO from scratch.  Assuming it would be some form of Windows PE, but never have worked with it. Was hoping someone could provide a step by step. (where to get PE, what install options to use, how to boot it. How to get Internet access from within PE. Installation of this tool. How to then create bootable ISO from the WinPE. )

 

Then I can use the instructions above to add it to the sylinux menu and boot it from flash.

 

As I think about it, partition Magic used to have a command line (DOS) tool in addition to the windows app.  If this tool has that, maybe can just copy it to the flash and run from DOS prompt?

 

I understand I could move the disk to my windows machine but that is a PITA couch better to just be able to boot an ISO from flash.

 

Sorry my original post wasn't more clear.

It sounds like you have an ms-dos .com or .exe program and want to add it to a FreeDos.ISO image you can boot.

 

Download a FreeDos.iso file.  I think you can open/edit it with 7zip on windows to add your utility program.
