Re: partition hard drive

Is that version of PartitionMagic compatible with Vista? Even tho XP and Vista both use NTFS, the partition tables are VERY different. Vista supposedly maintains the MBR style partition table as well as its GUID partition table, but there may be somedifferences the software doesn't recognize. Also the boot loader for Vista seems to cause some issues in dual booting if Vista is installed as the first OS. Verify Part Magic will handle disks created in Vista.
