Partition Magic Ver8 and Vista's NTFS
Hi all,
I have a Toshiba A135-S4427 Notebook that came preinstalled with Vista Home Premium. I want to use Partition Magic ver-8 to repartition the HDD into 3 total partitions, in other words - I want to creat 2 additional partitions. I read on another board the following: ....Vista has a different NTFS than XP. It is a known issue that formatting a drive/partition with Vista installed with a 3rd-party partitioning application will be sure to create problems, again due to the different NTFS format, since there are currently no compatible partitioning applications out that work with Vista. If I can get Partition Magic 8 to JUST create the partitions but NOT format them, will Vista's disk management format them correctly to the right NTFS for Vista? Thanks a bunch. Cin |
