I forked out over $100 on the latest Partition Magic (remembering that it usedta be kinda useful once) and was bitterly dissapointed with it. In the end I downloaded the GPartEd cd instead, to solve my problem. This is one area that the open source alternative is far ahead of the commercial options. I believe Symantec are selling a lot of trash by relying on an old reputation. I'm sure they produce some good tools too, but I won't be risking my money to find out.
