Re: partitions created with partition magic.

Hi there,

I've installed Debian 3.0 on a partition created by Partition Magic for XP 
without any problems at all (don't recally the version of PM but i don't 
think it was the latest).

Prior to this too I've installed earlier versions of Debian using such 
partitions and haven't had a problem so I don't think you need to worry.

Bye for now
