PartitionMagic was a computer program for hard disk drive partitioning originally made by the PowerQuest corporation but now owned by Symantec. As of December 8, 2009, the Symantec website stated that they no longer offer Partition Magic. The program ran on Microsoft Windows operating systems (only 2000 and XP, not Vista or 7) or from a bootable CD-ROM and enabled creation and modification of partitions. Existing partitions could be resized without loss of data.
DetailsPartitionMagic was capable of resizing NTFS or FAT (16 or 32) partitions without data loss, and could copy and move partitions, including to other disks. It also had various other features, including being able to convert between FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS, modify the cluster size of FAT16/32 and NTFS filesystems, and merge adjacent FAT or NTFS filesystems (all without data loss, though some NTFS-only metadata is lost on conversion to FAT). Additionally, it had somewhat limited support for ext2 and ext3 partitions.
Compatibility issuesPartitionMagic was compatible with Windows NT, 95/98, ME, 2000, and XP desktop editions. However, it
was not compatible with server editions of Windows NT, 2000, nor 2003 by design — a more expensive product from the same manufacturer, ServerMagic, would handle these - nor did it run on Windows Vista or Windows 7. It could however manage/modify Windows Vista or Windows 7 partitions when started from a compatible operating system such as Windows XP.
