But beware the draconian licensing! The license for Partition Magic states that once you have used the licensed copy on one machine, you must not use it on any other machine until you have destroyed or sold the original machine (of course, making sure that it's no longer installed). Talk about single-use, throw-away software!
I'm not saying you shouldn't use Partition Magic, just that you should be aware of this ridiculous license. I bought it because I got myself into a situation where I had to split an NTFS and didn't want to spend the time backing up and restoring. But I was hoping this would be an investment in a tool that would be useful for my support work. Fat chance :(
