Any problems with Partition Magic 7?

[Mavrick]

Does partitionning with partition magic 7 causes instability of the system or is it possible that is slows down the system?

I haven't worked with PM7 (yet), but my experience with PM6 and below is that it is the equivalent of
fdisking and re-creating your partitions (without destroying the data on the drive).

Repartitioning should not cause any instability that was not already on the system. If the OS or software
was having some problems with the file system before, then it might show up more after a repartition, but
that would not be due to anything PM did itself.

It would also not slow down the system, although some partitioning operations can change the cluster size
for a given drive, which can affect how the OS reads and transfers files.

No. Partitions are partitions. As long as PM7 does what it should, it will be no different than doing it via dos.,


However, I have never used PM 7, only 6.

I've never had any problem with the program.

I think I've read somewhere on here that people are having problem with PM 7. Do a search to make sure about it before you use it. If I am not mistaken, it has problem with Win XP.
