Partition Magic and NTFS
Has anyone tried PM8 with an NTFS drive? I used PM7 on my laptop and while
it worked for the _most_ part, it left some files blanked out, i.e. turned some 200mb files into 0-byte files. Fortunately my laptop isn't really important but now I need to make some partition adjustments on my desktop and the files here are critical, I can't have random files becoming 0 bytes. Any reports? |

PM8 has worked fine for me on many occasions with NTFS-formatted disks. Maybe your laptop's disk was corrupted before using PM7? Suggest you take a backup and run CHKDSK before using PM8. |

Never had this particular problem with PM7 or 8. Furthermore, I haven't
(yet) had ANY problems with PM8, especially the one where it suddenly decides that some partition table is not valid. And, yes, I am using it with NTFS. |

Any reports? maybe back them up before you start then if things go pear shaped they are not lost??? |

Has anyone tried PM8 with an NTFS drive? I can add to the voices here... Used it quite often (on both 2k and XP systems) and never had a problem. However, I try to back up anyway before doing partition work, and in the cases where I can't I still get that cold feeling in the stomach Gerhard |

Hi Kevin Ive never had a problem using PM7 or 8 with NTFS. I only have two FAT32 partitions (drive C + G for games) cos I dual boot win98/XP. All the other (13!!) partitions are NTFS. Hope this reassures you. Ian |
