2. What is partition Magic?
■ Partition Magic is a utility that lets you quickly and easily
create, delete, merge, or convert file systems of partitions
on your hard disk without destroying existing data.
Partition Magic will make your hard disk more efficient
and provide greater security for your data.
■ Partition Magic enables you to secure your data by
physically separating it from other files. Separate
partitions also make backups easy.

3. ■ Partition Magic helps you reliably run multiple operating
systems on the same computer. Partition Magic also
includes Boot Magic, a powerful boot manager that helps
you safely install new operating systems and lets you
choose which operating system you want to use when
starting your computer.
■ In addition to powerful partitioning features, Partition
Magic offers a variety of other options. For instance, you
can perform partitioning operations and view the changes
that will be made before applying them to your system.

4. Features:
Partition Magic 8.0 includes the following new features:
• New user interface – Makes Partition Magic easier to navigate.
• Large partition support – Enables management of partitions up to 300
GB when the partition is less than 90% full. Larger hard drives may
require additional memory.
• File browser – Makes it possible to browse the contents of a partition
or copy, move, and rename files and folders from within Partition Magic.
• Running multiple operating systems – Boot Magic has been
enhanced, so it can be installed on a FAT or FAT32 partition on any hard
disk.

5. • Ability to resize clusters on NTFS partitions – Reclaims lost
performance that can result from converting a FAT32 partition to
NTFS as part of an operating system upgrade. Larger clusters can also
reduce the rate of fragmentation.
• Installing Another Operating System wizard – Includes built-in
information so more of the operations are automated when you are
preparing your system to run multiple operating systems. Also
includes information you can print to help you with the part of the
process that is not directly tied to Partition Magic.
• Create Backup Partition wizard – Helps you create a partition for
backup data files.

overview of the tasks you can complete with Partition Magic.
