Wich is best? FDisk or Partition Magic?

Partition magic it`s better, because it`s easier to manage your partitions. He will inspect your partitions and will help you a lot!

Partition magic. its very featureful. Norton Symantec has a very good history for Disk Tool manipulation. Even you check scandisk and defrag of microsoft. they bought from Norton Symantec.

I think Partition Magic is good than others (like FDisk, Partition Manager and etc..) and i also use Partition Magic because it is easy to use and i can easily do my all the operations related to my disk and it provides such very good option (like Secure Erase, Resize Partition, Convert Partition, etc...) So I also recommend to beginners to use this software when they want to do some work related to hard disk...

I used to use FDisk long time ago but a habit has developed so much that now automatically I go for FDisk if sometimes I format my hard disk and install a new version of Operating System on it. Many times virus has ruined my Operating System.

partition magic can cause something on the drive, thats what i observed. Fdisk is safe.

FDISK or Partition Magic? I say, that depends on what you want to do. FDISK is DOS based utility that allows you to divide your hard drive into several partitions when no operating system (usually a new hard drive) or you simply want to delete the partitions and consequently loose the data in it, that is why you usually backup your data before doing any FDISK operations on your hard drive. This utility is already outdated because it is used only for "DOS" Partitions, (Pre-windows XP Era). Newer Windows systems like Windows XP has its setup program use a partition utility that allows us to create NTFS partitions. This can't be done with FDISK. Partition Magic, on the other hand, is very handy when you want to partition your hard drive with data already stored in it. It usually divides the free space of the hard drive into new partitions while retaining the data stored. However, use of partition magic takes longer than the FDISK utility because it does attempt to retain the integrity of your data during the partitioning operations. Whichever you want to use, it is always a good idea to backup your data before doing any partitioning on your hard drive because it can damage your data and may be lost forever.

I would personally use FDISK to create or dismantle any partitions that I wanted to alter. I much prefer this because it will not have any effect on the hard drive if I choose to change it in the future and install a different operating system. Most people use software like Partition Magic which will allow you to resize a partition while the operating system is installed, but it does not appeal to me at all.

Partition Magic

partition magic is the best because it is easier

I have used both the newer versions of partition magic are marvollous it will allow you to play with partitions even u can increase or decrease the size of windows drive partition too. but I think fdisk is better in creating new partitions, unfortunately its not tuned to handle hard drives greater then 60 or 80 GB

Definitly Partition Magic because it's easier to use then FDisk. I tried both and PMagic is my favourite.
