   Hello:   
      
   Please permit me to urge a correction & make several observations.   
   Although Symantec does own Norton, Partition Magic is a *Norton* product.   
      
   Furthermore, Partition Magic, $70USD payware, although historically   
   very good with any Windows OS from 98 to XP, is *not* compatible with   
   any Vista or Windows 7 based system, and likely never will be.  :-o   
      
   The latest GParted or Parted Magic, on a LiveCD, /will/ work with   
   Vista based systems /and/ they're freeware.  :-)   
      
   HTH
