I’m not a sales person and you can get much more detail from their web page.
However, since it is separate/independent from the OS it is more flexible.
For example you can have a LINUX partition or you could have a Win’95 and a
Win’98 partition (Win’98 would never allow this.) It’s like adding a layer
of indirection between your disk management and your OS’s.
It also can change the format of an existing drive without wiping the data.
Have a FAT32 partition that you want to allow NT4 to read? Just reformat it
as FAT16.
Nuff said.

Subject: [ntdev] RE: Can Windows 2000 and Windows XP co-exist on the s
ame machineI want to add a plug for a product called Partition Magic. It allows
you to partition a single disk into 4 major partitions of
which 3 can be
system/boot partitions. The remaining 1, 2 or 3 partitions would be
logical/data partitions which can be sub-partitioned into D:,
E:, F:,…
drives. Each of these subpartitions can be formatted differently
(FAT16, FAT32, NTFS). This allows a system partition for NT4, W2K and
XP as well as some shared data space. This completely hides the
different OS’s from each other and there is no chance of an install of
one messing with the other(s).In addition this product allows easy reallocation of partition sizes
after the OS’s are installed so if your 3 meg NT4 partition needs to
grow, you just move a slider bar and let it do its thing.I’m not in anyway associated with Partition Magic. Just a very
impressed customer. I know there are competitors which I cannot speak
to. It has made my job much easier.Michael S. Jackson
