 Useless Piece of Junk, 2000-02-08
It is unable to expand a NT NTFS drive. It does not support Windows 2000. Unless you are using a 'toy' operating system like Win98, don't waste your money like I did.

 It does what it says, and its magic., 2000-01-05
This (to me anyway) is one of those things that you never really think about buying. Then one day, you realize that you have tons of disk space, and documents littered all over the place. That was my experience, anyhow.So, you go and buy PartitionMagic. Period. Don't bother looking anywhere else, nothing can really touch this. It makes partitioning as easy as it can probably be. I had a drive that was a real mess, partitioned with Linux, FAT file system, and all over the place. PartitionMagic cleaned up that drive in minutes. It does take quite a while for some operations to complete (but we're talking gigabytes of data), I set it going and went for lunch. I like the other tools in the package - BootMagic does its job admirably (and, IMHO, is much better than LILO), and MagicMover (moves applications/folders across partitions) appears to do its job adequately - this one really takes a while. There's nothing out there that can really touch this, and if you have either (a) 1 very large drive, (b) two or more drives or (c) multiple OSs, then this is for you.

Huge time saver, 1999-12-13
This product is a dream come true. You can add/change/delete partitions on the fly without have to reinstall everything. I use it to play around with several operating systems, but it is also very nice to increase/decrease partition size when you need to.

Top notch product, but check price and your hardware, 1999-11-27
This is one of those rare gems of a product whose advertising does not pay due diligence to it's unbelievable quality and reliability. Yes, it is really that good and no I don't work for PowerQuest. At some point you will need to resize a partition, make a new partition, or clone a drive and PM makes it easy and worry-free. If you think you might need this, just buy it. It's worth it. Note that v5.0 does NOT say it is Win2000 compatible. Also be forewarned that if you buy that new huge drive you still might not be able to partition it how you want. Example: the BIOS in my PC (at least I think that's what to blame) cannot access drives > 8gb so my 13 gig drive is painfully data free. YMMV. btw, you can often find this product on sale in computer stores.
