There is an (almost) free (non-commercial) alternative: Ranish Partition
Manager. I haven't used Partition Magic, but I used Ranish to partition
the hard disk on this machine, and it is very good. It also includes a
boot loader if you need it:

I have this book here, and DR-DOS 7.02 from the CD is running as I type,
and the CD-ROM does include source code.

The book is "DR-DOS Complete" from Caldera Press, ISBN: 1-889492-03-5.

I got my copy from Cheapbytes. I just checked and they appear to still
have it:
