• Official Complaint for Partition Boot Manager 1.08(PBM)

  erkansanerJanuary 26, 2009

  Pros

  Boot with PBM, installation asks for space from initial part of partition and to get it you confirm, and delete the partition and MBR. but then it asks for a serial and if you dont have, you quit, impossible to boot your computer again.

  Cons

  Can get rid of the damage caused by this software by partition magic (PM). PM isn't a boot manager but at least sets some partitions active, deletes the redundant data that Partition Boot Manager had put instead of your previous partition and mbr.

  Summary

  You boot pc with PBM diskette, installation asks for some space from the beginning part of a partition and to get this, asks for your confirmation, and deletes the partition and MBR. but then it asks for a serial and if you don't have you have to quit. After this you have nothing to boot your computer. Previoues MBR is gone, no operating system can boot at all. If you uninstall this nothing is restored. Summary: User is at no point informed about the fact that he/she needs a trial serial, and if he quits after this serial step, user can not boot its system again; in most of the cases

• Good, easy to use product

  Pros

  I have no floppy drive so the CD ISO file for a bootable CD came in handy. After I made a small amount free in the beginning of the first drive (7.6MB) the installation was quick. Configuration for booting 3 operating systems was done in a couple of minutes. <p>The possibility to configure what partitions are visible to the different OS is a strength. <p>Have also been in e-mail contact with the support and it has been very fast and good.

  Cons

  The only con is that without a floppy the configuration cannot be saved i.e. you loose a couple of minutes of configuration work in the worst case. Nothing serious.

• I can't even install it.

  ZorqueApril 25, 2005

  Pros

  I don't know, because I can't install it.

  Cons

  The setup file forces you to create a setup floppy disk. I don't have a floppy disk drive, and the "installer" makes me use my A: or B: drive, neither of which I have. I would like to try it out, if this oversight was corrected, but it hasn't been, so far.
