Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Partition Magic 8
Does Partition Magic 8 work when installed in Vista? When running from booted floppies? Hi, No, it does not work with a Vista volume, it is not compatible. Try an alternate product such as terabyte's BootIT NG or Acronis' Disk Director, both of which work well with Vista volumes.

Would not trust any Linux partitioning as it does not fully support NTFS. >Would not trust any Linux partitioning as it does not fully support NTFS. That's incorrect.

Where is this documented? I'd use GParted or Partition Magic on a clean disk, but not on one on which is already installed. >> >Would not trust any Linux partitioning as it does not fully support NTFS. >> >> That's incorrect.

When support becomes part of the kernel, then I'd think about using the critter, not before then. >> > Does Partition Magic 8 work when installed in Vista? >> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Would not trust any Linux partitioning as it does not fully support > NTFS. You are incorrect. Paragon Partition Manager is reasonable cost and works with vista http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/ James > Does Partition Magic 8 work when installed in Vista? > > When running from booted floppies? > Does Partition Magic 8 work when installed in Vista? > > When running from booted floppies? It should work. My PM-7 works just fine when booted from floppies. I usually use Acronis Disk Director but it is kinda brain-dead when it comes to state of the art hardware. It fails to even see my RAID. Good 'ol PM-7 sees it just fine. > It should work. > > My PM-7 works just fine when booted from floppies. > I usually use Acronis Disk Director but it is kinda brain-dead when it comes > to state of the art hardware.

Symantec told me to NOT use PM 8 with Vista. > Symantec told me to NOT use PM 8 with Vista. You shouldn't use Symantec with Vista or any other OS. Oh well, a few minutes ago, I ordered Acronis Disk Director. >Oh well, a few minutes ago, I ordered Acronis Disk Director. It's a good thing you did: Symantec's Paritition Magic 8 simply is NOT compatible with Windows Vista, nor do they have any plans on making it compatible with Vista. It seems like Symantec is letting it die on the vine. Acronis Disk Director Suite is a very good replacement, and about $40 cheaper than PM8. The only thing I don't like about it is that the Boot Manager supplied with it doesn't seem to work very well in Vista. OR else I've not configured it correctly.
