Symantic PartitionMagic v8.0 (1 User)
Didn't help me
I've had trouble with Symantec products before, so I was hesitant to take the plunge with the Symantec version of Partition Magic.  But I needed to do some surgery on my laptop's hard drive and I figured PM would do it.  I was wrong; the money I spent on this product was wasted. <br /> <br />Similar to another reviewer, I had a dual-boot machine, with Win XP and Mandrake Linux.  I suspect that the Mandrake partition tool created some problems in the partition table, but I thought the whole point of a tool like Partition Magic was to fix these.  I was already resigned to wiping my disk and reinstalling the OS, but all Partition Magic would do was to report an error.  Tech support at Symantec told me to \\"boot DOS and run FDISK.\\"  Why can't PM, whose sole purpose is to manage partitions, recreate a partition table for me?   <br /> <br />If your system is up and running, then this tool may help you manage your partitions.  But if you are starting from scratch, then PM does nothing.
