“PartitionMagic 5.0 takes the mystique out of managing
partitions, with intuitive wizards for moving, resizing, merging,
and even converting partitions without losing data. Anyone who
manages PCs running multiple operating systems with several
partitions should consider PartitionMagic.”

“PartitionMagic runs natively on Windows 95, 98, and NT 4 and
can run from boot disks on Windows 2000 and non-Windows operating
systems such as Linux. Not only does PartitionMagic let you convert
among FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS partitions, but it also supports hard
drives that exceed 20GB.”

“Wizards can help create partitions for specific OSs, merge or
convert partitions, and even redistribute unused space among
adjacent partitions.”
