Hi All.
I just tested here Partition Magic 4.0 and this fine release from PowerQuest fails on Windows 2000 Professional (Workstation) as was failed on my Server NT4 SP5. PQBoot, MagicMove and Partitioninfo runs fine on Win 2000 but the Partition Magic itselft don't runs.

For years, power users have understood the secret of mastering hard drives--hard disk partitioning. Dividing a hard drive into several partitions lets you efficiently organize operating systems, programs, and data. Until  PowerQuest's PartitionMagic came along, modifying partitions was a nightmarish task demanding that you back up your data, delete existing partitions, create and format new partitions, re-install the operating system and finally, restore the data (which hopefully wasn't destroyed along the way). If you wanted to modify your configuration, you had to repeat the entire, day-long process. With exciting new functionality and ease of use, the world's most trusted partitioning program, PartitionMagic 4.0, now puts the benefits of hard-drive partitioning within reach of everyone.
