People always sound so paranoid about losing data when repartitioning. I've only repartitioned a couple of drives, always with the Mandrake installer and I've never used Partition Magic, so I'm not really experienced on this. So I want to ask kind of a poll question: How many of you have messed up a hard drive/lost data by using Partition Magic? by using other non-PM repartitioning tools? (Please note I'm not talking about things like a power outage in the middle of a repartition--actually the program messing up itself.)
