1 out of 5 stars Norton PartitionMagic8   June 19, 2008
Product arrived OK. However, would not even begin to run on Windows XP. So was worthless to me. After much research on line, got hold of open source utility that did work for me.


5 out of 5 stars Good option for Sony VAIO partition problems.   June 17, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I had the same problem as many other reviewers - a Sony VAIO pre-partitioned with a small C: drive and a big D: drive. The C: drive filled up after two years, even with careful maintenance. I bought Norton Partition Magic 8.0 at a heavy discount. I followed the directions offered by reviewer Eric Whitlow (12/26/05,) said a little prayer, and waited about three hours. PM moved the data on D:, resized D:, and expanded C: into the new space. Everything worked perfectly. The software has lots of features that I'll never use but it fixed my immediate problem.


4 out of 5 stars Well it worked for me   June 14, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I'm not a techie and had no chance of getting technical assistance where I live but I did have an XP based computer with a ridiculous 10GB C drive and 160GB D drive partition so it gave the impression that there was lack of memory where it needed it most.

Reading the reviews, they seem to split between "works well" and "scrambled my hard drive" but, with no alternative, I took the gamble.

Anyway it worked first time and I found it easy to use. Beginner's luck maybe



4 out of 5 stars works great for resizing   May 23, 2008
Running XP. I needed something to resize my partitions and this did the trick. My C: drive had been at 95%+ capacity for quite some time. I was able to re-allocate space from the D: drive to here. Problem solved. I didn't have to create a backup either (though you may want to just in case..). It did take a while, approximately 3 hours to re-allocate 15G. There may be less costly options, but when you consider you are messing with your hard drive stick to a trusted product.
