Does Partition Magic 8 work when installed in Vista?

When running from booted floppies?

Hi,

No, it does not work with a Vista volume, it is not compatible. Try an
alternate product such as terabyte's BootIT NG or Acronis' Disk Director,
both of which work well with Vista volumes.

You might try the GParted Live CD - chances are it will do what you need.

Paragon Partition Manager is reasonable cost and works with vista

Would not trust any Linux partitioning as it does not fully support NTFS.

It should work.

My PM-7 works just fine when booted from floppies.
I usually use Acronis Disk Director but it is kinda brain-dead when it comes
to state of the art hardware. It fails to even see my RAID. Good 'ol PM-7
sees it just fine.

That's incorrect. Current linux kernels fully support ntfs.

Where is this documented?

I'd use GParted or Partition Magic on a clean disk, but not on one on which
is already installed.

I agree that it would be OK to use on a clean drive, but I'm getting a
notebook with Vista already installed on a 320GB drive.

You are incorrect.

Symantec told me to NOT use PM 8 with Vista.

That is not part of linux.
When support becomes part of the kernel, then I'd think about using the
critter, not before then.

Oh well, a few minutes ago, I ordered Acronis Disk Director.
