A tool from PowerQuest, and later Symantec, that enables manipulation of partitions through its own bootable media. PartitionMagic can shrink, grow, or move partitions without the need to backup and restore files in that partition. It supported a variety of file systems, and the core DOS-based parition tool fit on a bootable 1.44mb floppy disk. It was extremely popular, and made installing or removing multiple OSes much easier.
7.0 was the last version of PartitionMagic before being purchased by Symantec, and introduced support for Windows XP. The setup program mentions it 'now' supported 80GB hard disks. System requirements varied from a 486 using Windows 95, through to a Pentium 200 using Windows 2000/XP. CD ISO Contains versions in English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.
