Partition Magic 8.0

by rbuller . Updated 22 years, 6 months ago

I have not seen many reviews on this version of PM and am very curious as to its functionallity, effectiveness, and safety.

I am running a Dell PowerEdge 2600 server with Windows 2000 Server. It has three 18GB drives and is partitioned so that C drive is 4GB. I need more room on this drive. Will PM 8.0 be a safe and effective route to gain that extra space or should I just consider reconstructing the array.

If I understand PM correctly, it will allocate a segment of my D or E drive (my choice) to be mapped from C drive and does not change the physical size of the exsisting partiitions. That the only way to change those physical partitions is to reconstruct the array. If I am correct, is there any chance that I will encounter errors as I add, remove, or access progarms on the server.

Any wisdom you can shed on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rodney
