Introduction
What Is PartitionMagic?
Norton™ PartitionMagic® is a utility that lets you quickly and easily create, delete, merge, or convert file systems of partitions on your hard disk without destroying existing data. PartitionMagic will make your hard disk more efficient and provide greater security for your data.
PartitionMagic enables you to secure your data by physically separating it from other files. Separate partitions also make backups easy.
PartitionMagic helps you reliably run multiple operating systems on the same computer. PartitionMagic also includes BootMagic, a powerful boot manager that helps you safely install new operating systems and lets you choose which operating system you want to use when starting your computer.
In addition to powerful partitioning features, PartitionMagic offers a variety of other options. For instance, you can perform partitioning operations and view the changes that will be made before applying them to your system. Additionally, you can view comprehensive information about your hard disk geometry and your hardware system, and you can resize root directories (FAT, FAT32) to make room for more long filenames.
New Features
Norton PartitionMagic 8.0 includes the following new features:
•New user interface – Makes PartitionMagic easier to navigate.
•Large partition support – Enables management of partitions up to 300 GB when the partition is less than 90% full. Larger hard drives may require additional memory.
•File browser – Makes it possible to browse the contents of a partition or copy, move, and rename files and folders from within PartitionMagic.
•Running multiple operating systems – BootMagic has been enhanced, so it can be installed on a FAT or FAT32 partition on any hard disk. PQBoot for Windows has been added, enabling you to boot into an alternate operating system from Windows and return to the standard operating system on the next reboot.
