Hi guys, just wondering Can partition magic 8 be used with Vista?
Can partition magic 8 be used with Vista
Well i tried installing it but it didnt work on vista(premium)
Hmm thats sad...so did u manage to partition ur drive, I need for my sisters Dell laptop..coz its preinstalled!
Check out whether its in the Windows Vista Software Compatibility List in Microsoft Website.
I have also tried PM8 on Vista Ultimate on one of my friends system..I think PM8 doesn't work in Vista.
It doesnt work on Vista, unfortunately.
Well i did with inbuilt partition option available in vista
O i dint know you could do that...ill check it out...wer do i find it?
COntrol Panel->Administrator Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management System
And better than that, go to *gparted.sourceforge.net
Download the liveCD and boot from it.
By the way, in case you wondered, GParted is FREE and OPEN SOURCE.
Thanks dude!
Digitians you can try Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 which is compatible with Windows Vista.
Is this FREEWARE?

Hi guys, I dont know if you are still after this solution. However, I would like to include it for anyone who is searching for a solution. You dont really need Partition Magic or any other disk partitioning tool in Vista as this can be done in the Operating System itself. There is no use installing a lot of software unless you really have the need for it.
Vista has an in-built Shrink and Merge tools which can be used to partition or combine partitions. Go through the following steps and you will see how easy it is...

Hope this helps any of you who would like to partition their disks in Vista.

Yes, Prasad is right. You can view the link he's given or check this with images:

use Parted Magic live CD. Its a 50 mb download, and can be burnt to a CD/RW/USB and booted from. It can alter partitions for nearly everything.
When i use Partition Magic 8 live CD on my laptop, it says 'No HDD found". wats wrong with PM?
dunno whats wrong with PM, but did you mount the HDD first ?
and try using Parted Magic and see if it works.
if both don't, something wrong with HDD
I used the MegaISO .. it worked fine
you guys, why do you need partition magic if vista has inbuilt facility to shrink & expand feature.
it works great for expanding capacity of your drive or reallocate them itself.
to use this feature:
rt click on computer-click manage-click on disk management
& rt click on partition which u wanna shrink or expand..thats it. [most of guys herein digit knows well abt this feature]
