Partition Software

[Eric Goldberg]

Hi all,

I am looking for a software that can create partitions. I used to use the
windows cd to create the partitions but it's not very efficient for me to do
that. I am referring to partitons I make after installing windows for
whatever reason. Any recommendations?

Any response is appreciated.

Regards,

Eric

Google is your friend. I typed this into a Google search box:
"Partition Manager"
and got countless hits, e.g. Paragon, Acronis, Ranish, Cute
and Wikipedia. The last one gives you the best oversight:

Partition Magic.

There is nothing better than Acronis Disk Director, especially for a novice.

It is simple enough for the beginner, yet powerful enough for the advanced.

Partition Magic is only OK. It has limitations.

Of course it all comes down to choice.

What about the built-in Windows Disk Management tool? If all you want
to do is create or delete partitions it will do just that for you. You
can run it by entering diskmgmt.msc in the Start Menu Run box.

I'm guessing that may be a bit overkill if all he wants is a partition
manager, but I haven't used it.

Like what? (talking about version 8 here)
(but it's the only Norton product I allowed on my system)

Hi All,

Thanks for the reply.

Sometimes I need to created new partitions after I did a low level format on
the SCSI HD and need to restore from Ghost. Without having the logical
partitions Ghost will not work.

I also was looking for software that can fix corrupted partitions and it
seems that Acronis can do that.

Thanks,

Eric

I have. I've tested over 30 Partition Managers. Creating working partitions easily and safely is not
"overkill".

Many, but you should try them all yourself to really know, you can read this comparison:
