/NSS Does not display the splash screen.
/PQB Forces the batch file to the specified location. PartitionMagic creates a
batch file when it must perform some operations in boot mode.
Syntax: PQMAGIC /PQB=C:\, where C: is the location where you
want the batch file to be saved.
/RAV Tells PartitionMagic to read and verify all disk writes. Enabling this
option increases the length of time needed to perform some operations,
but it ensures that the operation outcome is accurate.
/UVM Tells PartitionMagic to use virtual memory.
/WFS Wipes the first sector after deleting all partitions.
