Do you have an old computer sitting in the corner of your bedroom? One that you haven’t used in a while? Do you ever miss the contents of the computer, the files on them? Did you dual boot the box and use LILO or some other boot loader? Are you unable to get to the files that you so dearly miss?
Enter Symantec’s PartitionMagic 8 (recently purchased from PowerQuest). So I have a towering computer that sits in the corner of my room. I’ve been meaning to pry it open and remove the harddrives and the data that resides on them, if for nothing more than to zero them out using Jetico’s BC Wipe and hand them off to someone more deserving of them, like Greg of GregNews.org. So after purchasing Symantec’s Ghost and Partition Magic bundle I was able to find my way into my old hard drive and restore some files that I had forgotten about. Needless to say I’m truly amazed at the power of Partition Magic.
