Tobias, According to this page you can create a bootable floppy version of the routine: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-4PESMK.html [Never underestimate IBM's support options! In fact, it was referenced from the hibw4win page.] Do read the whole page, because there is a caveat at the bottom about separate partitions. You may just have to try it and them see if the BIOS is happy.
