Norton PartitionMagic 8.0 Reviews
As I said, this product earns it's title.it is MAGIC. After deciding to upgrade my laptop's harddrive, I wasn't sure how I was going to move the image from the old to the new without totally reinstalling everything.
Close down the laptop, and put the new drive in it. The last step is to either expand the partition on the new drive to use all of the new drive space, or create other partitions.
With a desktop it's easy.you just plug the new drive temporarily in to the drive controller, setting it up as a secondary, then use the software that comes with the drive to copy an image from old to new, but that won't work in a laptop. You can even use Partition Magic to help you create machines with multiple operating systems.
Partition Magic makes this easy to do if you have an external USB drive handy. Just plug the drive in, fire up Partition Magic, remove any existing partion from the external drive, then copy the entire partition on your laptop to the external.
Copy the partition from the USB external drive to your new laptop drive, and reboot from the new drive. Boot the laptop from the Partition Magic CD-ROM, it has it's own operating system to run the utility from the CD drive.
If I had researched this product first I never would have purchased. Rated 1 star because could not go lower. I went to product website which charges $10 per issue to attempt resolution. Apparently this error message is a program defect that is well blogged on at several Internet sites discussing same problem without resolution. Ultimately, returned product (hopefully will get credit) and removed program from computer. Purchased and installed program and immediately received error message.
I wanted to know to format a hard drive with partition magic i was able to erease the hard drive completly load new programs format the hard driveusing all of the hard drive or partition itthis product is a very helpful product
However, would not even begin to run on Windows XP. Product arrived OK. After much research on line, got hold of open source utility that did work for me. So was worthless to me.
I bought Norton Partition Magic 8.0 at a heavy discount. Everything worked perfectly. The software has lots of features that I'll never use but it fixed my immediate problem. PM moved the data on D:, resized D:, and expanded C: into the new space. The C: drive filled up after two years, even with careful maintenance. I had the same problem as many other reviewers - a Sony VAIO pre-partitioned with a small C: drive and a big D: drive. I followed the directions offered by reviewer Eric Whitlow (12/26/05,) said a little prayer, and waited about three hours.
