First I want to say how much I appreciate your partition manager. I have used many other software to try to move partitions around and they never quite work for me.

I have been trying to think of a way to thank you for this beautiful, simple and affordable product that saved my day. Again, your product is top notch.

Using Partition Assistant Server, I was able to repair the problem via Remote Desktop and a Cisco IPSec VPN. I will definitely use this product again it will always be highly recommended to my colleagues. Thanks you again.
