There are good reasons, it's rather new and from Microsoft, meaning probably very buggy. I know a guy at work who sent his winblows partition in a black hole after uninstalling a program. I'm not sure exactly what happened, all I know is that he had to reformat his hard disk. Partition magic can resize your fat32 partition. It doesn't matter then whether or not you can see the fat 32 from Linux. You can always create a small fat 16 partition to transfer data to and from the two systems. We may not want fat32 but it's there to stay. I'm sure they will eventually fix the deadly bugs. Most of all is that most if not all new systems have that darn fat32 on them. If we don't feel like reinstalling winblows, partition magic is there to help. I've found partition magic extremmely useful and it's safe to use. I have never had any problem with it and it has saved by hide more than once. How would you approach a boss and say that you have to waste several hours to reinstall a system because you need another partition? And a note to the one who bitched at me for not writing a book but just a helpfull two lines reply : "put a sock in it, I ain't in a mood for a flame" I wish a lovely day to eveyone else. -- Tired of Windows' rebootive multitasking? then try Linux's preemptive multitasking http://www.netonecom.net/~bbcat/ We have software, food, music, news, search, history, electronics and genealogy pages. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.altern.org/andrebalsa/doc/lkml-faq.html | ||||||||||
