Just wanted to know if any of you guys have experienced problems with this program on Windows XP. After trying to increase the size of my d drive with 5 gb, and decreasing the size of the c drive with the corresponding size, I sort of messed up my harddrive. Restarted the machine, and the operation stopped at 73%. After 35 mins, I pressed the reset button. Now my C drive has decreased its capacity, but the d drive is still of the same size. Though in Partition Magic, it says the d drive has increased its capacity! I can not perform a disk check on my c drive in nor Windows (It says I have to schedule it to be performed in the bootup. Then no problems are found) or Partition Magic (Says I have to use the Windows utility). I believe I have to take a backup of the data and repartition the harddrive, but for the future: Can you trust this program on this os? Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Hi! I have used PM7 i WinXP several times now without any problems. Have resized partitions and addes one linux + swap patrition. Must say that I realy love that program. But in your case it seams like a serious problem. Maybee you should format the whole disc again (after backing upp nessesary stuff). In some places PM7 seams to stop for a wihle. I don't know in your case but it can take some time.

Thanks for replying. I waited about thirty or fourty minutes, I still heard sound from the harddrive, but it did sound as if it was working. Yes, I will back up my data and run the most stable program Microsoft ever made, Fdisk! Maybe I will go for another try with PM in the future... =)

I am still using PM4 and it doesn't support WinXP NTFS. My way is if you want to resize the partitions; ghost your partitions first; then restore your old Win98 ghost file with PM4; resize these partions; then restore your WinXP. It doesn't matter if you restore your 4G WinXP partiton to 5G drive or 3G drive(4G WinXP gho file should less then 3G in real).
