Of course Partition Magic destroys the contents when formatting...that's
what formating is, unless I am misunderstanding some angle. The whole point
of using partition magic, or lilo (if your k00l <g>) is not destroying data
when changing file systems...
The easiest way to have multiple partitions on a single drive with as many
different files systems as you want is Partition Magic. It works in DOS,
Windows 95,98,2000 and even, god help you OS/2...
As noted earlier, Convert is not reversible. Partition Magic is.
