Yes.
and I would not recommend PartitionMagic..it's unreliable for partitioning. Personal experience is that I keep running into error with codes that i cant even google up. It's great for formatting or jst general partition/HDD info.
I would also suggest burning the image onto DVD or back it up into a 2nd HDD
