1. HOW TO BUY PARTITIONMAGIC
----------------------------
This is an evaluation version of PartitionMagic. To purchase the full
version of PartitionMagic, visit your local software reseller or call
PowerQuest sales at 1-800-379-2566 (United States and Canada) or
+1-801-437-8900 or visit our web site at www.powerquest.com.
2. FILE SYSTEM SUPPORT
----------------------
In addition to the documented partition type support, PartitionMagic 4.0
also supports FAT16X, FAT32X, and ExtendedX partitions.
3. KNOWN ISSUES
---------------
A. Volume sets and stripe sets on Windows NT
--------------------------------------------
Currently PartitionMagic does not support moving and/or copying of
Windows NT volume or stripe sets.
B. MOUSE.COM issue running PartitionMagic under Windows 3.x
-----------------------------------------------------------
By default, Windows 3.x disables MOUSE.COM in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
and MOUSE.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file. This makes Windows 3.x use its
own proprietary mouse driver. When PartitionMagic is run from
Windows 3.x with this situation, MOUSE.COM is never called, and
PartitionMagic runs without a mouse. You can have a mouse with
PartitionMagic under Windows 3.x if the MOUSE.COM mouse driver is
loaded before Windows 3.x is loaded (this will require you to edit
your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file).
C. Uninstalling PartitionMagic under Win3.x
-------------------------------------------
The "PowerQuest PartitionMagic 4.0 Pro" program group is not removed
when you uninstall PartitionMagic under Win3.x. This can be done
manually if desired.
D. MagicMover issues
--------------------
MagicMover has a known issue involving an '=' alone on a line in
system files (i.e., WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI) under Windows 95 and Windows
3.x. If an error occurs, make sure there are no single '=' characters
on a line in these system files. Also, under no circumstances should
you use MagicMover to move the BootMagic directory (BTMAGIC.PQ) as
this will cause serious damage to your BootMagic setup.
E. Color palette issues installing Windows NT version
------------------------------------------------------
If you run the Windows NT version of PartitionMagic immediately
after installation, occasionally you may see color palette problems.
We recommend rebooting Windows NT before running PartitionMagic
for the first time.
