I used "Partition Assist" on my Windows 7 64 bit laptop. I really like
this program better than "GParted" because it is more compatible
with my old 64 bit PCs compared to GParted.

Some of my old PCs are 32 bit PCs. I searched for a 32 bit version
of "Partition Assist", but I did not find it. Note: I did not spend a lot of
time searching for it. NOTE: I am willing to pay/donate for the 32 bit
version.

Does anyone know where I can download a 32 bit version of
"Partition Assist" ("PartAssist_WinPE")?

Thank You in advance, John

Ooops, I forgot to mention that I want to download the ISO
file so I can burn a CD.


I should have mentioned that I downloaded the (64bit version) ISO file.
I think the filename was something like, "PartAssist_WinPE.ISO".

Well, I just "made" one.

First, I tried to make the ISO using these materials in
a WinXP x86 (32 bit) virtual machine. Note: KB3AIK_EN.iso is
1,789,542,400 bytes and is a large download.

https://download.microsoft.com/downl.../KB3AIK_EN.iso
msxml6-KB927977-enu-x86.exe
dotnetfx35.exe

Well, that didn't work. AOMEI claimed there was a problem,
but didn't explain it.

Next, I set up a Win7 SP1 x86 (32 bit) virtual machine
and tried again. This time, I used...

http://www2.aomeisoftware.com/downlo...Assist_Std.exe
https://download.microsoft.com/downl.../KB3AIK_EN.iso

The "make boot media" in the menu of AOMEI tool, worked this time.
The image is only 211,484,672 bytes and might not include as
many drivers as the ISO you downloaded as a separate item.

When booted in the VM environment, it looks like this.

It also has bad table manners, as it does not put up
the "Press any key to boot from CD" item on the screen.
This tends to cause a loop in a VM environment, but hammering
it isn't a problem :-)
