| 180798 | 2003-10-06 04:06:00 | I want to partition my hard drive, but I dont want to format it, or loose any stuff, and i want it done safely. I heard about partition magic, or something. I have XP Pro. If I bought Partition Magic 7.01, would that be all right for it? I have hardly any money to spend though, so i want something cheap. |

| 180799 | 2003-10-06 04:10:00 | Use Partition magic to avoid losing data, its your best bet. You still should backup your data, its not totally fool-proof. | Harry_H (2985) | ||
| 180800 | 2003-10-06 04:10:00 | I think PM costs $70 or thereabouts . Ranish is free, but that might njot do XP (NTFS) . There is no such thing as a fool-proof accident-proof partitioner . Accidents happen . Fools happen . That's why backups were invented . :D |

| 180802 | 2003-10-06 04:32:00 | Ranish is a free partitioner . Google will find a download site for you . READ THE INSTRUCTIONS . Then read them again, until you understand them . :D |

| 180803 | 2003-10-06 04:46:00 | I think i can get Partition Magic 7.01 for about $35 . I can afford that, but is it enough better than the free Ranish, or nearly the same? Can Ranish partition without losing any data? |

| 180804 | 2003-10-06 05:11:00 | There is ALWAYS a risk. You have to back up before doing anything. My son has lost his information when for some unknown reason, partition magic turned to custard. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 180805 | 2003-10-06 05:25:00 | Well. I guess thats a bit better, if even Partition Magic screws up, then I guess a free one wont matter so much. No one has answered this yet though Will Partition Magic 7.01 be ok? Does it support XP, and FAT32 and all that? Thanks |

| 180806 | 2003-10-06 06:01:00 | Search Google using "partition magic 7 and windows xp" Amazing what it returns . Men are four: He who knows not and knows not he knows not, he is a fool -- shun him; He who knows not and knows he knows not, he is simple -- teach him; He who knows and knows not he knows, he is asleep -- wake him; He who knows and knows he knows, he is wise -- follow him! - Lady Burton (wife of Sir Richard Francis Burton), given as an Arabian proverb |
