I think that there are a few of us who had problems with PM products, myself included. The newer versions might be better, the proof is in the pudding though. Acronis on Mandrake is just demoware and does not write the info to disk once you have made the changes. The only safe route is to back-up the software and do what ever you feel comfortable with out of the suggestions put forward so far.

I got Femmes copy myself... it sucks... It found errors on my NTFS install and just died.. said it couldn't help and exited.. Funny thing is winblows works fine... I used and old copy of ghost to move to a new drive and it got the size a tiny bit wrong.. PM6 could not fix it, so I deleted it.. no use for useless software.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of FemmeFatale Sent: Friday, 3 January 2003 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Linux & W2000 At 10:41 AM 1/2/2003 +0000, you wrote: >On Thursday 02 Jan 2003 12:05 am, Smiley wrote: > > On Wed, 1 Jan 2003 23:30:02 -0000 > > > > Aurélio Diniz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Smiley: > > > Don't even think about resizing your win2k partition with diskdrake.

PM Pissed me right off b/c less than 6 months after buying that POS they stopped supporting it. Needless to say I wasn't amused. On top of that I lost a lot of installs due to PM "finding errors in the partition table. Fix them for you ? <yes/no>". Click yes, kiss goodbye your linux partition & possibly your Winfucks partition depending on how PM feels that day. PM bites. Wnat my copy? You can have total craptastic performance with it too! ------------- FemmeFatale Good Decisions You boss Made: "We'll do as you suggest and go with Linux.
