PartitionMagic 8
Product description |
| Partitioning
allows you to manage your hard drive more efficiently. Your
computer views each partition as a separate hard drive, automatically
giving it a drive letter, allowing you to conveniently organize
your hard drive and maximize the performance of your system.
Dividing your hard drive into separate partitions plays an
essential role in maintaining your computer-preventing conflicts,
protecting data, improving efficiency, and increasing performance.
Award-winning PartitionMagic allows you to separate data files,
operating systems, applications, games, and downloads by creating
and resizing partitions quickly and easily, without reformatting
your hard drive or harming your data.
BootMagic,
included with PartitionMagic, enables you to safely load and
run multiple operating systems (OSes) on the same computer
without conflict. Test a new OS without giving up the stability
of the OS you are currently using. PartitionMagic also includes
PQBoot, which enables you to select which OS to run on your
next reboot while running in Windows.

8 Reviews and Press
|
(REVIEW
By Ken Feinstein, CNET.com)
As
hard drive volumes push well beyond 100GB in size, it makes
sense to divide those megadrives into smaller, more manageable
partitions--whether you want to run multiple operating systems,
simplify backups, or just organize your overall file system.
Though PartitionMagic 8.0 offers few substantial improvements
over its past two iterations, this version delivers powerful
tools to create, merge, split, copy, and convert partitions
without the need to reformat your hard drive. Note, however,
that you can inadvertently render your system unbootable or
destroy important data with this deceptively simple software.
Turn to PartitionMagic only if you're a power user with a good
understanding of hard drives and file systems.
Cleaner interface
With the aid of the included quick-start guide, PartitionMagic
8.0 installs easily within a standard Windows setup routine.
Launch the program, and you'll see an XP-style interface that
has a more organized and cleaner look than version 7.0's.
Buttons on the left lead to the software's key functions and
launch so-called tasks--wizards that guide you through common
procedures.
On the right, you'll find easy-to-understand
tree diagrams that show the partition structure, free space,
and color-coded file system formats. Click a drive diagram
and select the function you wish to perform. Once you're finished
specifying all your changes, select Apply. In some cases,
PartitionMagic will perform the modifications live within
Windows, but usually, it will automatically restart the PC
and perform the changes during the boot process. If you change
your mind, you can always reverse your current course of action
and start over.
Version 8.0 adds only a few features of note.
A file browser lets you copy files and directories from one
partition to another, and now, PartitionMagic supports partition
sizes up to 160GB as well as Linux Ext3 partitions and FireWire
and USB 2.0 drives within Windows. A new feature in PQBoot,
the helpful PartitionMagic utility that lets you juggle multiple
operating systems, lets you specify within Windows which operating
system to run on restart.
Danger lurks within
But don't let PartitionMagic's ease of use fool you; considerable
danger is inherent in futzing with hard disk partitions--even
with PartitionMagic. For example, it's all too easy to make
a partition disappear or make your entire system unbootable.
When things do go wrong, you must boot to DOS with rescue
floppies that you created during the software installation
process (or, you can boot from the PartitionMagic installation
CD). It would be nice if PartitionMagic would alert you of
potential operations that might make your system unstable.
If you do get yourself into a partition pickle,
PowerQuest's toll-free phone technical support is available
for free for 30 days, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT, Monday through
Friday. After that, you'll have to fork over $30 per incident
and $95 per incident after business hours. E-mail support
is offered free for the life of the product. We sent in a
query via the company's Web site and received a satisfactory
reply the next day. The site also includes detailed FAQs and
an extensive searchable troubleshooting database. But alas,
although PartitionMagic 7.0 came with a 150-page printed manual,
8.0 includes information in a PDF file--especially vexing
since you'll need to refer to the manual when you may not
be able to boot Windows to view it.
If
you're already using PartitionMagic 7.0, the few new features
in 8.0 aren't worth the $49.95 to upgrade. However, for anyone
who deals with disk partitions regularly or wants to run multiple
operating systems, the power and flexibility of PartitionMagic
is hard to beat.
