Nothing to say about money...and emule...

Windoze is not necessary to boot partion magic or partition manager. The core part boot from a DOS floppy or may be run from real DOS HD. All versions. Look in "Make a recovery floppy" option or similar.
Actual versions for sure support ext3. I dont remenber now if reisefers is supported too. IŽam not sure. They both are very usable. No problem yet.
