Good day everyone,
I have just started using Vista Ultimate. In the past I have used Partition
Magic for various reasons. However, I have found out this software does not
work with Vista. I cannot even use the boot disks to do service to the HD.
Does anyone know of a software that works similar to Partition Magic under
Vista? I need to be able to create partitions etc. Right now I have a fouled
up install of Vista. I want to create another partition in front of this one
and set it active to install a new copy. But, I do not want to lose any
documents I may have on the fouled partition Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Marcus

Acronis Disk Director. Back up your documents *first*. You can get them
from a rescue cd such as Knoppix if you can't get into Windows.

I just partitioned a new hard drive using a standard Vista tool. Just look
up "partition" in Help and go to the "Create a partition" item. You might
just find that this will do your job.
 
I would like to have more control over my partitions. Like Partition Magic,
one can size, resize, create, convert primary and logical, actually look at
what files are on a partition, and many other great features. I did already
create a D Drive using the toll you refer to. But now with a questionable
install on C drive, I would like to leave tat partition there, but put a new
C drive in front of that partition for a new install.

Thanks for the help though.
