I have it here and it was great for dividing an existing Windows 95 system up so that I could have separate partitions for 95, NT and Linux. I guess if you are installing on an empty system, you wouldn't need PM. I see that one person suggested PM4 was better but that had its own problems which I hope are corrected in PM5. I have PM5 and haven't found any problems yet
I have used both PM4 and to a lesser extent PM5, without any problems if you really want to play about with partitions, resizing moving etc. the it is ideal. If you have a hard disk that is greater than 20Gig you will need version 5. It also comes with Boot Manager that I user personally when dual booting Linux / Windoze. Boot magic must reside on an FAT16 or 32 partition not so good if you are running NT4 (I prefer NTFS) OK of you are running Win2000 however I have not tried it yet on Windows 2000, I run Linux under VMWare (www.vmware.com) on Win2000 runs great, but you will need plenty of RAM!.
