Well I don't know about that because I personally only use PM8.xx due to it's support for NTFS v3.1.

It's possible that earlier versions would work but only on the older NTFS 1/2(NT3/4) and NTFS3.0(Win 2k).

Plus there is support for the Linux EXT1/2/3 filesystem in the latest release

If you installed XP (Pro or Home) on a new drive/partition then it will be NTFS v3.1. If you installed XP as an upgrade from Win 2k then it will be NTFS v3.0.

No problems using PM8 so far

I have never had a problem with Partition Magic 8 on Windows XP.
