Partition Magic 8.01 and Vista = **HEADS UP**

After very thorough testing, it appears that Partition Magic 8.01 is not
compatible with NTFS partitions created during the install of Vista RC1 (and
earlier versions of Vista).

After installing Vista, if you boot from the P.M. floppies you will get an
error message (error 110) that the partition is corrupt and asks if you want
to fix it.

You had better say NO!

If you don't allow P.M. to fix it, and continue booting into P.M. the drive
will show as corrupt and give the former error, superimposed on the
partition graphic. At this time, if you just reboot, everything will still
be fine. Vista will still boot.

If you allow P.M. to repair the partition you will now see error 11. At this
point the damage has been done and Vista will no longer boot.

Guess it is time to retire this venerable old workhorse of a program, as I
am not going to buy Symantec's version just to see if it is compatible.
