It took too much time for the limited benefit. ![]() If you had a large hard drive and no tape backup unit, you probably didn't bother. The most common solution was to back up all of your data, run FDISK to rearrange your partition alignments, then restore your data. If you've been working on an OS/2 system for a while and the layout of the logical drives wasn't working for you, you had few options-until recently. These tasks can be accomplished quickly and easily by using PartitionMagic for OS/2 from PowerQuest! If you support multiple machines that are evolving from DOS/Windows to OS/2 plus DOS/Windows and you want to set up Boot Manager, how do you add Boot Manager without the BACKUP/FDISK/RESTORE routine? Have you ever wanted to change the size of the partitions on your hard-disk drive? How about change a partition's file system from File Allocation Table (FAT) to High-Performance File System (HPFS)? Wouldn't it be nice if you could make both of these changes in just a few minutes? ![]() This article describes Steve's very satisfactory testing of PartitionMagic from PowerQuest. So we asked Steve Schneer, a certified OS/2 engineer, to take a look at the program and tell us if it does everything it claims to do. ![]() PartitionMagic, which Personal Systems reviewed in "What's New for OS/2?" a couple of issues ago, seemed like a dream come true.
