I'm copying this to microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion.

For future reference, for questions and issues that touch on windows
98,
I recommend you include that newsgroup, because it's pretty much the
only active win-98 group on usenet these days.


You might want to look at this:

I guess Norton bought / owns PowerQuest?

Um, yeah....where have you been for the past 7 years? Symantec bought
up Powerquest at the start of 2004. They killed Drive Image and
absorbed the Drive Image technology into Ghost. They took over
Partition Magic and then killed it. Another in a long list of quality
software either killed or emasculated by Symantec.

gparted is a very reasonable GNU replacement for partition
magic. Other then PM, it has never killed any drives for
me so far. With PM, my experience in mor ecomplex cnages is
2 out of 3 failed with the disk messed yup enough that a
fresh partitioning was needed.

So maybe Sumantec did the world a vavour.
