A great idea; but, beware. It's not ready for prime time.

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's worth a try; but, proceed with a lot of caution particularly if you are using XP. Definitely, not for the inexperienced user.
Review: I recently installed WIN XP Pro (upgrade) and discovered I was running out of space on the C: drive partition. There was close to 60 GB vacant in other partitions that would be helpful in C: The problem was how to resize the partition without wiping...

Did not do what I wanted

Date of Review:  May 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Not useful if you are rebuilding your disk from scratch.
Review: Here's the background: I had a dual-boot laptop that ran Windows XP and Mandrake Linux. I found that I wasn't using the Mandrake partition much after changing jobs, and further the XP side was getting slower and cruftier (this just seems to happen...

Crashed my computer. No tech support even the premium.

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: Wish I had never used it. The price was for PM bundled with Ghost 9.0. Ghost works ok, at least so far.
Review: The software worked very well initially. I re-partitioned my hard drive to have a separate partition for the virtual memory, for boot magic, and for backup. Symantec Ghost requires a separate drive for backup.

I also re-partitioned my...

Partition Magic Help File Sucks

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2006
Review: I find help useless, it says the program detects network drive. It does NOT and there is nothing in the help topics to lead to its detection or capacity. Web site FAQ offers no help either. Pay for support is what they want after selling the...

partition black magic

Date of Review:  Sep 27, 2006
Review: I am in the middle of the hours long process of trying to get my hard drive back the way it was before. Someone has to be crazy to try and mess with the partitions when you can buy a 160 HD for 30 bucks when they are one sale. If you want to mess...

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2006
Review: Horrible program......I would not perform anything beyond basic repartition tasks. Always ended up with corrupted drives. After 2 days I threw the whole package in the trash can.


I ended up getting Bootit NG from Terrabyte Unlimited...
