Regarding Partition Magic 8.0:
I have a dual boot system with Win-XP and Fedora Core-4. It all works but Partition magic sees all the Linux (ext-3) partitions as full. That is the /boot and / partitions. They are not, verified by booting into Linux and checking (eg. "df ."). Because Partition magic sees the partitions as full, I cannot resize them smaller to give disk space to other partitions. Please note that earlier I had Linux 8.0 (no relation to the version of Partition Magic) running and Partition Magic saw the correct disk utilization (and could browse, which is cannot with Fedora Core 4, listing no files in the partition, and it also cannot check properties, returning error #510 - unsupported file system). :confused: Help.

Probably has to do with the partition being on a LVM volume. You'll have to read up on what you can do with Partition Magic and LVM.
