Question about XP and Powerquest Partition Magic......
I have Powerquest's Partition Magic and Drive Image ver 4, I think. It worked well on my P3-866 w/WinME, but I'm thinking it probably won't work with XP on my new Dell box coming in. Will it? Hate to plop out another $50 to use it once or twice. Now Drive Image I use all the time, so that would be a necessary upgrade investment.
What say you? Any thoughts that might save me money?
Thanks, Jim.

I checked Symantec for upgrade requirements, but not about ver4 working with XP. Wasn't sure where to find that.
Ok, I checked but didn't see anything on compatibility issues. Makes sense since Symantec bought out Powerquest and that being an older version.

Read that DI4 may work better on Fat32 than NTFS. Would it be worth making a partition( I think XP can do this) and clean install XP/Fat on it and then transfer your stuff with the Transfer Wizard. Or am I dreaming ?

NHRARacer and others, do you recommend buying PM for $50 if I only use it once or twice? And, Does XP provide the same capability to logically partition drives into D,E,F or whatever?
Thanks to the rest also. I like the rolling back to W98 compatibility mode.
Jim.

thanks maxd ... I'll look into that. Regarding XP, it says on the CD it's the "Reinstallation CD - M/S Windows Home Edition, including Service Pack 1a". So, it this the complete XP OS install cd?
Thanks, Jim.
