[edit] Vista

BEWARE: Use with Microsoft Windows VISTA beta 2 release (5384), PM 8.05 makes BIOS geometry changes as it perceives discrepacies between CHS, LBA values etc. Vista ULTIMATE was installed on a logical drive in an Extended partition. If user allows the corrections to be made, it works OK, until next use of PM805 after reboot, where it appears to have ruined the partition table. Rescue disks did not help, as it just puts you into a cycle, use PM805=change CHS, LBA values, if not allowed, then a 1MB free space between every partition w/ incorrect CHS /LBA #. Error 117 Init ... .

If XP booted from another HD, when PM 805 executed, displays the entire XP/VISTA HD as BAD!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.97.80.10 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Regarding Symantec aquisition

Does anybody know why this product is not updated anymore? I mean, you don't usually buy a company and leave its products to die... Symantec is very stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baka toroi (talk • contribs) 15:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
