Average Rating: Rating: - A must for serious computer users and WinXP upgrades I've used Partition Magic since version 3.0. Partition Magic 8.0 is now WinXP compatable and supports hard drives up to 160 GB and now you can move files from one partition to another regardless of partition types. This software is a phenominal program that allows hard drive repartitioning "on-the-fly" and easy booting into different operating systems. I have a PC-DOS/Win3.1 partition and a Win98SE partition on the same hard drive and a WixXP partition on a second hard drive. I have also had a Linux partition on the first drive. You can resize partitions and convert from fat 16 to fat32 and back. You can also divide one large hard drive into several drives to help organize data and files. Boot Magic (and the previous Boot Manager) are great to allow easy booting into any OS that you have on your drive. Partition Magic has never given my a problem. I have never lost data. The manual is clear, well written and easy to follow. If you want to have more than one OS on your computer or to try out a new OS or upgrade (like WinXP), then this program is a must have. Highly recommended. Rating: - Partition magic 8.0 Product worked as stated to remove partitions from my hard drive. I have an 8 gig divided into 4 drives and C was filling up. Beware! you must run Drive Mapper (in tools) before you open any programs that were in partitions that you eliminated or even shortcuts if they are in other partitions. There is not a warning to do so and caused me a full day of fixing the problems. Also run defrag when you are finished. It took 17 hours to run mine (Win 98, 300 mghz Pent. 3) Now that it's over, I am pleased with the product. Make sure you know a computer person. This is not for amaturers Rating: - Good, but worth trying other products Overall seems to work fine, although using the floppy-boot features to resize Fat32/NTFS partitions -- which is the only useful feature in my book -- seems to take a lot longer than even version 6. Version 6 if you unchecked the bad sector box under preferences, was pretty speedy. Allow an hour at least to resize a 40gig drive. On the whole, worth trying the competition including Acronis as noted in a previous review here. I am not sure about current licensing on this product, but formerly Powerquest has wanted a license purchased for each use of the product (similar to Symantec Ghost), which is really absurd. Hopefully Acronis avoids this morass, or they should. Imagine if Microsoft Office required a license every time you used it!! Always check the "fine print" in licensing before buying for a business environment. This information is not always easily found on product websites.
