Presenting the easiest way to optimize your hard drive
Are you getting the most out of your hard drive? For years, power users have understood the secret of mastering hard
drives--hard disk partitioning. Dividing a hard drive into several partitions lets you efficiently organize operating systems, programs, and data. Until now, modifying partitions was a nightmarish task demanding that you back up your data, delete existing partitions, create and format new partitions, re-install the operating system and finally, restore the data (which hopefully wasn't destroyed along the way). If you wanted to modify your configuration, you had to repeat the entire, day-long process.
Presto! With PartitionMagic 2.0 from PowerQuest, optimizing a hard drive without destroying data is as easy as clicking your mouse. Now even the novice computer users can visually create, format, shrink, expand and move hard disk partitiions in minutes.
Your hard drive is getting bigger... much, much bigger.
PartitionMagic was designed to help you combat the inefficiencies that come with large hard drive partitions. Here are the feature
that help you fine tune your hard drive:
- Intuitive Graphical User Interface
- Shrink, expand and move FAT and HPFS partitions with the click of a mouse.
- Shrink, expand FAT cluster sizes.
- Convert FAT partitions to HPFS without destroying data on the partition.
- Move FAT, HPFS and NTFS paritions.
- Create new partitions.
- Delete existing partitions.
- Format both FAT and HPFS partitions.
- Expand the Windows 95 root directory to accommodate more long file names.
- Set the active partition.
- Hide or Unhide partitions.
- Check hard disk and cluster information.
- Provide complete Partition Table diagnostics.
- Support eight physical drives.
- Recover good clusters that are marked as bad.
- Enhanced information screen for super VGA resolutions.
- Enhanced documentation with step-by-step hard disk optimizing scenarios.
- And much much more...
What will all this magical functionality help you accomplish?
PartitionMagic exploits the full capacity and potential of your hard disk. It greatly enhances your ability to organize, optimize and secure. your system
Organize
- Create room for Boot Manager.
- Create a separate partition for OS/2.
- Create a separate partition for data to facilitate regular back ups.
- Separate operating systems, applications and data.
- Use partitions as flexible super-directories to organize large numbers of files and directories.
- Manage non-dedicated network servers more efficiently by separating server software from client software.
- Consolidate unused portions of several partitions into a larger, more useful block.
Optimize
- Recover up to hundreds of megabytes of hard disk space by resizing inefficient FAT clusters.
- Get critical system information faster and more accurately by using PartitionMagic's Check and Info options instead of OS/2 or DOS's CHKDSK utility.
- Ensure optimum system compatibility since PartitionMagic doesn't use any software TSRs or device drivers.
- Explore the advantages of IBM's High Performance File System.
Secure
- Use partitions to separate data from operating systems and applications.
- Hide and Unhide partitions to protect data
- Maintain system integrity by running different operating systems in different partitions.
- Test new or unstable software in a separate partition.
So make your hard disk hassles diappear. Just say the magic word -- PartitionMagic -- and
