Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

They say that breaking up is hard to do, but if you've got Partition Magic 5.0 on your side, you can slice and dice your hard drives easily and painlessly. You'll need to start from DOS or Windows, but you can add as many different operating systems as you like once you've got the partitions set correctly.

The job of partitioning is made simple enough that it's sure to drive some computer techs out of business; with the simple point-and-click wizards and well-written online hints, those who know enough to want to partition can do it themselves. The preview feature is excellent, permitting you to examine the changes you're ordering before you make them permanent. This should eliminate the boneheaded mistakes that tired or stressed-out users inevitably make--and that are so devastating in low-level operations like these.

One important caveat: Partition Magic 5.0 won't work on every system. Since you're monkeying with some of the deepest elements of your machine, some configurations will return errors or simply not allow installation. This is unpredictable, but PowerQuest is constantly working on patches and upgrades (such as the promised Windows 2000 version).

On most systems, though, the software is a thing of beauty--you can cut big, fat 32-GB drives down to size; create, resize, and merge partitions on the fly; easily move applications between partitions; and convert between file systems without losing data. Whether you want to add a new OS or just maximize your hard drive space, Partition Magic 5.0 is the safest, easiest answer to your breakup problems. --Rob Lightner

Product Description

For years, power users have understood the secret of mastering hard drives: hard disk partitioning. Dividing a hard drive into several partitions lets you efficiently organize operating systems, programs, and data. Until PowerQuest's PartitionMagic came along, modifying partitions was a nightmarish task demanding that you back up your data, delete existing partitions, create and format new partitions, reinstall the operating system, and finally, restore the data (which hopefully wasn't destroyed along the way). If you wanted to modify your configuration, you had to repeat the entire, day-long process. With exciting new functionality and ease of use, the world's most trusted partitioning program, PartitionMagic 5.0, now puts the benefits of hard-drive partitioning within reach of everyone.

Must have! 3 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Quite simply, this is a complete must-have. Anyone who seriously wants to manage their system needs this product. Got a big disk? Partition it now! I learned the hard way. Fatal corruption of Windows - lost everything. Now I have several partitions, operating system and program files in one, data and system image in another. If you need (or want) to reinstall Windows, fire up the DOS version and re-format, resize, whatever you need. Very stable, easy to use. No serious computer should be without it. The best!

Cannot be without it 23 July 2000
By A Customer
This product is a must for anyone serious about drive management. Since purchasing Partition Magic most of my workstation disk issues have dissolved. One word of caution, NT Server requires Server Magic (a seperate product) although it handles NT Workstation OK.
