I'm looking for partitioning software that is capable of
backing up (or copying) existing FAT32 bootable partitions.
Are the partitioning software you mention capable of this?

My system is running Win98SE.

I have PowerQuest PartitionMagic 7.0 installed.

I just bought a 80 GB HDD (Seagate ST3200822A),
which exceeds PM7's capabilities. So, I need to
either upgrade to or buy PM8. But, due to
Symantec and PowerQuest's deal, I hear people are
very disappointed with Symantec's handling of
PowerQuest's software.

Is it still possible to get a version of PM8 that
has not been processed by Symantec?




you don't need PM8 to partition an 80 gig drive
the new drive should come with partitioning software...
or else...all you need is the updated version of fdisk
you can either get the new fdisk from microsoft
or else just use a winME bootdisk which you can get from
www.bootdisk.com
