Norton Partition Magic and its alternative

What is Norton Partition Magic?

Partition Magic is originally made by PowerQuest corporation. On December 5, 2003, Symantec acquired Powerquest and then Partition Magic is often called Symantec Partition Magic or Norton Partition Magic. Norton Partition Magic runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems (only 2000 and XP, not Vista or 7) or from a bootable CD-ROM. Existing partitions could be resized without loss of data.

Download Norton Partition Magic

After searching Google by "Norton Partition Magic" you'll find the announcement on Norton website "Sorry, we no longer offer Norton Partition Magic." What a pity.

Of course you may find other sites and download Norton Partition Magic, but you cannot purchase it any longer. Furthermore, Norton Partition Magic has many disadvantages and bugs, so it is no longer the best choice to resize partition or maintain your computer, for example:
It does not support Windows Vista, Windows 7.
It is not compatible with Windows NT, 2000, 2003 or 2008 Server editions.

Replacement of Norton Partition Magic

For Windows Server users, Partition Assistant Server edition is the best choice to replace Partition Magic.
