Vista Partitioning Help

[sitheris]

I have created partitions on my Seagate 7200.11 - all three I created as Primary partitions using PartedMagic.

I noticed today that copying files goes very slowly, and I asked my friend about it and he said I should be using Logical partitions.

Is this correct?

Also, is there an easy way to go back into PartedMagic and convert the partitions without losing the data on them?

Using Vista Ultimate 64 bit btw.

Thanks

No, logical partitions won't be any faster. People have reported problems with Vista and copying speed using the drag-n-drop method; does it behave differently with command line tools? What does HDTune show?
