I've used it on my own system. I backed up first and it was a good thing.
PM 4.00 messed up my two logical ext2 partitons and made them fat32
extended.
That is, it made /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda6 into /dev/hda5(windows)
Not good.

PM 4.0 seems to work fine with ext2 partitions themselves with one
exception - and that exception actually involves only Lilo and not ext2
itself.
When you move or resize an ext2 partition that has Lilo installed in the
boot sector of the partition, PM 4.0 attempts to rewrite that boot
sector to

I once had an infelicity with an earlier version of Partition Magic: I was
moving from one HD to another, and while PM showed both to have the partitions
etc in the same order, in lin

Will it deal with partition that partition magic 3.0 won't touch?
I used cfdisk's "maximize" option when creating a big ext2 partition.
That gave me a slightly bigger partition as it no longer

It wanted to put ext2 partitions inside a logical partition and I didn't
like that. It also seemed to read my drive cylinder geometry incorrectly
(well, at least differently than linux).
I found that the best way to do it is to use PM to resize the win
partition and leave free space on the HD. Th

I am about to install Debian 2.00 onto my PC with Windows 95 already on
it.
I want to pre partition hard drive with Partition Magic 4.00 since
Powerquest Corp claims that v4.00 fully supports Linux's ext2.
Has anybody used Partition Magic 4.00 to create ext2 partitions and does
it work correctly?
I just found that Powerquest released their partition magic 4.0 and it
now supports the Linux ext2 filesystem. It can resizes Linux partitions
now:)
