does anyone recommend partiion magic pro?
and what is better about it than other partition software?

[anonymous_user]

I recommend Acronis Disk Director.

[techywiz2007]

thanks, but why is it better?

Is there any reason you don't want to use PM? I also use Disk Director, but I've still got an old version of PM 8.0 lying around that I still use on occasion.

[techywiz2007]

i have partition magic 7, but it has a hard time merging paritions, and redistributing free space on my computer

[Zxian]

Ah... I remember that problem with PM7.

If you're looking for a new tool, Acronis Disk Director is what I'd recommend today. I haven't had any troubles with it yet. *touch wood*

[techywiz2007]

i've heard of it, but i haven't looked it up yet

another vote. PM ofter has errors which acronis doesnt have.

Acronis Disk Director never made any error in my experience. But Pm 8.05 ( the updated PM since Norton acquired Powerquest) did fail me twice. I now only use Acronis product.

[techywiz2007]

ok thanks, i'll try that instead

PM failed me once. I was a long time user of PM and never failed until this once when HDD became corrupt and would not let me fix/create partitions.

Used Acronis Disk Director and it fixed 'em up. I never used Disk Director again.

I use XP setup to create my OS partition. Once my OS is installed, I used Disk Management console in XP to make my partitions.

I tend not to repartition once I have my system configured.
