OMG Partition Magic Works!!!!!!!

[shawnmos]

I just copied my old 8.4G to my new 40G hard drive with Partiton Magic and it worked!! When I tried to resize the partition to 40GB my computer froze!!! Sh*t. I tried it again and it said I had cross linked files. I ran scandisk and it deleted them. I did it again and it worked. I disconnected my 8.4g restarted and it worked. Cool!! The only thing is I think I might have lost some files cause it was unsuccessful the first time. But so far it works perfect! Well at least my all my Britney Spears pic are still there.

Yah, I've used PM many times.. sweet program.

Damn, if that's a success story, I'd hate to be the one to have trouble!

Never owned one of these software partitioning solutions and I doubt I ever will. Closest I've come to using one was "Ghost". And I FDISKed the drives myself before it ever got to do it's thing.

Saved my ass couple of times. Good program.

Of course PM works. I've used it but I didn't find much use with it so I just trashed it.

 

[VoodooExtreme]

Used it... and it hanged!!! Trashed my whole 22GB harddrive!

The program is SUCK!

I haven't used partition magic yet, but I've used partition resizer successfully (just had to type fdisk /mbr to make it bootable again afterwards), and found that it was worth DLing

I've used it, and had no problems. Dunno what ya'll are complaining about.

It is an awesome program.

I have a very old 386sx I want to try Linux on. It has no CD-ROM, and can only handle 1 IDE device. I thought I was screwed.
1. I brought the HD to work and slapped it in my NT box with PM6.
2. I used PM to format the drive to NTFS so NT could see it. NT didn't notice it originally because it was FAT.
3. I created a peanut folder and dumped peanut linux into it.
4. I converted the NTFS to FAT16 with PM6 and then resized the partition to make it as small as possible.
5. I converted the free space to Linux's ext2 with PM6.
6. I made the boot disks for peanut linux and now all I need to do is to take the HD home and install peanut linux from the HD. I hope all goes well.

Maybe there was an easier way to do this, but PM is really nice.
