There are a lot of important, exciting announcements in this issue regarding the new major revision of PartitionMagic, Version 3.0. Thanks again for your comments. PartitionMagic 3.0 incorporates major new components including IBM's Boot Manager and features from MicroHelp's best-selling utility, Uninstaller. The product, which pioneered a way for users to reclaim lost storage space on their hard drives by adjusting cluster size while resizing partitions, provides solutions to safely manage multiple operating systems, and to organize and protect data. PartitionMagic 3.0's support for NTFS and FAT32 now makes it an even more powerful tool for consumers and corporations that are planning to migrate to new operating systems like Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
Users can create separate partitions for each operating system to eliminate compatibility conflicts.
PowerQuest has also licensed Boot Manager from IBM to make it easy to choose which operating system to load when starting the computer. The new version of PartitionMagic supports the FAT32 file system which will come preloaded with Windows 95 on many new computers. PartitionMagic converts existing FAT partitions to FAT32 when appropriate. PartitionMagic lets users have the best of both worlds by making it easy to run multiple operating systems on the same PC without compatibility conflicts. Saving hard disk space lost due to inefficient cluster sizes has long been a benefit of PartitionMagic.
