I always used to hate doing partitions. Now I offer to do it for all my friends because PartitionMagic makes it not just easy, but fun! I've never been so excited about a utility before, but this baby has literally save me hours. I have time for my wife and children again! Thank you Dr. Norton!

The recent purchase of this program was terribly disappointing. My husband and I have used PartitionMagic since it was owned by Power Quest and it worked miracles and kept us from having to reformat disks and reinstalling software. The company was bought out by Symantec/Norton in 2003 and from online blogs, it seems that Symantec isn't maintaining it. Too bad, because this was nifty patented technology. It appears that it works for Windows XP SP2 and before, because it was installed on my husband's computer before SP3 came out last year and it still works. It won't install on my new computer with WIN XP SP3, locking up and giving arcane error messages. For anyone considering buying this program, it also won't work with Vista (the box doesn't list Vista as an compatible OS, so this isn't surprising). So, the question is, how many of us using WIN XP haven't updated it with SP3 considering that this SP had security enhancements? Another good program bites the dust after being bought out by a larger company who doesn't "get" it...

I had read there might be some issues getting it to work with a Sony Vaio which comes with a small C drive, mine which had filled up. It installed easily and after I ran backup disks,opened the program ,highlighted the D drive,selected the minimum amount that could be partitioned (13 gigs in my case),and it asked me if I wanted to use it to increase my C drive.Yeah baby! Took about 45 minutes to perform the exchange, I couldn't be happier.Wish I had this program years ago.
