Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

When it's time to divide and conquer, the right tools are vital. Whether partitioning to create a multiple-OS machine or just to improve efficiency, users of PartitionMagic 7.0 will get the job done quickly and easily. Still, novice computer users should be extremely wary of trying this--or any other low-level operation--without patient and trusted help, as it is all too easy to make serious, irrevocable mistakes and lose precious data. That said, most who know enough about hard drives to know they need new or resized partitions should find PartitionMagic 7.0 simple and headache-free.

Designed for Windows XP, PartitionMagic 7.0 7.0 does fine with earlier Windows versions and supports hard drives up to 80 GB. The BootMagic utility makes switching between operating systems as simple as rebooting.

While this wizard-driven software might make power users suspicious, it does make life much easier for all users and is still flexible enough to arrange partitions to everyone's satisfaction. While many folks will use this package once and never see it again, experienced users can resize partitions on the fly and tweak to their heart's delight. It's inevitable that some hardware configurations won't work with PartitionMagic 7.0, and that this can occasionally lead to catastrophic errors; it is absolutely essential for all users to back up crucial files beforehand. PowerQuest is generally good about providing support and patches for configuration problems, so it's best to check their Web site for information before running it. Despite all the caveats, this is simply the best set of tools available for quick partition management. --Rob Lightner, Amazon.com

Partitioning allows you to maximise your hard drive space, safely run multiple operating systems, and organise and protect your data.

And, it supports Windows XP.

Easy, step-by-step wizards help you perform partitioning tasks, and you can preview the effects of partitioning your hard drive before implementing anything.

Partition Magic 7.0 supports FAT, FAT32, NTFS, and Linux ext2/swap file systems.

This software makes partitioning a disk relatively easy, although I admit to a few false starts, largely because the manual reads as if every second chapter has been ripped out! Why oh why are software manuals so absolutely useless? I now have Windows 98 on one part of my hard disk and XP on another. The software includes Bootmagic which allows dual booting. Mind you, now I've managed this I've forgotten why I wanted two operating systems in the first place.

Partition Magic 7.0 21 Dec 2001
By Fletch
Format:CD-ROM|Amazon Verified Purchase
An excellent software package. It comes bundled with Boot Magic and together they provide a great way of organising your computer and even setting it up so that you can use different operating systems from different partitions. It is really easy to use and flawless in operation. For the ever growing number of people buying bigger hard drives its so useful to dictate the size of the partitions so that disk scanning and defrags become fast operations instead of taking hours! My only criticism is that having previously bought Partition Magic 5.0 when I upgraded to Windows ME you could not re-install PM 5.0 so instead of being able to just buy an upgrade you had to buy the full package again! Other than that it is a first rate utility that I would not be without.

I'll give this product 3 stars. While I've now after one week of use mastered the techniques involved in the use of partition magic, I just wish the instructions would be a bit more clear about using the product with Windows XP and the NTFS file system in general. Otherwise, no problems, and I'm about to add a 3rd operating system.
