Ali, No. That is just a bad rumor. The idiot put "Partition Magik" over the 30G FAT32 partition, which rearranges disk partitions logically, through who-knows how many layers of linked directory trees (AFAIK). When copying large amount of small files, it creates HUGE seek overhead, and overall transfer must be really slow. I've been using "Partition Magik" [sic] for years to manage my hard drives. It isn't anything more than a glorified FDISK and FORMAT program which creates and formats partitions on a hard drive. These are all standard partitions and formats. There's no additional software drivers or anything unique created -- it's simply a way to create and adjust partition sizes while leaving the data you have in place. I've never had a problem with it trashing data, nor has it affected the performance of my system (having installed it on 3 systems after using both before and after the installation). This appears to be just another bad rumor you're trying to start. There is no limit in people idiocies. Excellent point. Dave
