As is known to all, Partition Magic is a piece of old brand partition management software. It was developed by PowerQuest and then purchased by Symantec in 2003. After that, Symantec stopped updating the software regularly and declared there was no plan to release new version. On December 8 of 2009, Symantec announced on its official website that they would not offer support on Partition Magic. As the last version, Partition Magic 8 is a piece of good partition magic software. With it, users can create partition, resize partition, copy partition, merge partitions, and accomplish other partition management operations very easily. However, in the software industry, no matter how excellent the software is, it will be replaced once it stops updating. In a short time, Partition Magic was forgotten by users gradually because of compatibility. It is even incompatible with Windows Server 2003. Once a piece of software is eliminated, another piece of software will emerge rapidly. MiniTool Partition Wizard is the best alternative to Partition Magic. It is a professional partition magic developed by MiniTool Solution Ltd. and does better than Partition Magic in function and compatibility.
