Norton no longer supports PQ Magic. I wanted to buy a new partitioning program that has good technical support and is a quality program. Many times when the computer locks up, and I have to do a hard power down, I can't recover without taking extreme measures: removing harddrive and disk checking with a second computer, reinstalling windows, wiping the harddrive clean and starting from scratch. Chkdsk works only sometimes. Diskdoctor rarely works. What are the recommend partitioning programs for Windows XP? Also, if a make a DVD backup of the operating system, and reinstall with Norton Ghost, will that guarantee that problems with boot records, and master boot records will be fixed?
