    Paragon Partition Manager is very good. Are you telling me PartitionMagic does not work with Vista?

    I will say however that Vista's built in disk management program is much improved, and I don't have to use Paragon Partition Manager as much as I use to. :) :) :) :)

    What exactly are you trying to do which Vista's own disk management can't handle?

    disk management couldn't seem my linux partition when i went to reformat it and merge it with my regular partition. Other than that, i think it works rather well. i'm pretty sure partition magic is what i used to solve the issue on my vista machine.

    I personally use Acronis Disk Director, find it to be very good

    Have you tried GParted, or QTParted? I've never used either with Vista, but they work with XP and every Linux distro that I've used, and each app is free.

    GParted is easy to use and very powerful.
