It's not compatible with Windows Vista of any flavor. Even Partition Magic version 8 is only for Windows XP and 2000.

Just like XP didn't support software written before it was developed.

If you want to use something like Partition Magic there is always G Parted it does the same thing and is available from here

If you [b]Really[/b]want to use Partition Magic 7 with Vista you will need access to [b]Windows Vista Source[/b] Code and rewrite the OS to do something that M$ couldn't achieve.

If M$ willing give you this please post back as I know many others who would be interested.

It's more realistic to use something else.
