Unable to install Partition Magic

Asked By RichardCooper 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/08/2011

I am very new to Partition magic which I am trying to use on one of my Windows XP machine.

I have Windows XP SP 3 on which I am trying to install partition Magic 6.0. The starting goes well and all of a sudden after a few seconds it throws up an error message that this version is not for Windows XP.

I downloaded the package from the official website and made sure that package is for windows XP OS.

This version of Information Magic is designed for Microsoft Windows XP only. The installation will now end.

Now I am confused of how to proceed further with the installation. Is there any other new package which I need to download? Or does my machine need some application update for this to recognize?

Repartition it again and try to reinstall your Windows. For the best results try using the original key, then it should be OK. Pirated key are not that beneficial and might not work properly.  If the same problem continues, try some Diagnostic Tool to check the condition of your Hard Disk, have a good scan check of your Hard Disk for any Bad Sectors or any locked spaces. You may also check that all your USB devices are enabled, that can be checked by going back to your system BIOS settings.

You can also try downloading the newer version of Partition Magic 8.0 for better performance.

Dear Richard,

If the windows is not supporting your program then you can install a new window or you can install a new program to make partitions. If you need to make partitions on your window without installing a new window then you can use window services also to make partitions and you can make any change as per your requirements.

To go to windows partition setup got to START and click on RUN here type diskmgmt.msc and click Ok when done a new window will be in front of you through which you can change your desired partition you can change drive letters and  other tasks related to disk management can be solved from here.

But in case you have different requirements and must need to install a partition magic then you can install it from a source which is fully secured and has no spam programs.
