Partition Manager vs Partition Magic

Does anyone have some thoughts on which is a better product:
Partition Magic (by PowerQuest) or Partition Manager (by Paragon)?

Thanks

 

Partition Magic 8, $30 HERE

 

partition manager-partition magic

I have to agree with pete c,I use partition magic and find it has an excellent gui which is very clear and easy to use.I have xp pro one one partition and xp home on another.It is also excellent if you wish to resize the partitions or indeed add another.Boot magic the boot manager that comes with it is also excellent,I use version 7.0 which as pete c states will cover up to 80Gb hard drives.I also think ver 8,0 goes up to 160Gb.I have had no experience with partition manager so I cannot really comment but I thoroughly reccomend partition magic.If you want to see how it works you can download a demo from the makers website at www.powerquest.com which will do everything but actually make the partitions.After you try just delete the demo and you can then get the full program if you are impressed as I was.regards,pcfanatic2.

 

Thanks for that info. I ordered PM a few days ago. Just recevied an email that it has been shipped, so I should have it in about a week.

 

PM 7 & 8 do not have hard drive size limits they have partition size limits

I have used PM 7 on my 2 100GB WD1000JB drives with 4 25GB partitions each and on a 250GB S-ATA WD2500JD with 4 62GB partitions for a friend.

I just bought PM 8. I love the partition copy feature it is great for copying a Win XP partition to test new programs and drivers before installing them on the partition that I use. It even edits boot.ini so the new OS is added to the boot menu.
