Hello ,
that is a DOS program ???
you can use Winimage to make a 2.88MB size image .IMG and use it with a dos bootable CD like UBCD (not UBCD4Win)

you can use Disk partioner with UBCD4Win and it does not need plugin
just double click it.

hi loy's

You can put a PM 8 floppy image into ubcd4win using the multiboot plugin menu BCDW
(see info from ben_mott on how to merge two floppys)

multiboot plugin assumes you are building from XP not Win 2003 source

However PM 8 will want to write temporary files !!

I got round that by using RAMDRIVE.SYS
see autoexec.bat, config.sys and setramd.bat below

PM 8 is getting old and has trouble with re-sizing Vista Partitions so you might want something more modern

you can use Disk partioner with UBCD4Win and it does not need plugin
just double click it.

http://www.paraglide...Partitioner.exe

the above is the GUi for Diskpart.exe of MicrosoftXP
====
NOTE
====
do not rename it to Diskpart else will crash.
put it in a folder called Tools and in the PEbuilder point to that folder and that gets included on your
UBCD4WIN Bootable CD/DVD
use A43 file manager to locate it then double click on it.
I use linux parted magic
http://partedmagic.com/
you can down load iso from his web site and burn the bootable Cd using imgBurn (google it)

Heed these guys warnings. I`m very inexperienced at doing UBCD4WIN or UBCD but
I stagger along and have tried PM8 on a boot disk. UBCD does allow you to add PM8
to it which I did once. I used it and it messed up my partitions. It`s some baaaaaaaaaad medicine.
There is also EASUS Partition Master 3.5 which works with Bart PE and can probably be grafted to UBCD4WIN.
There are several threads with cautionary tales about PM8.

Good Luck!
