This has to be among the best and easiest partitioning tool on the market, free or paid. I just got through redoing my computer, including adding a new printer. But I wanted my two main partitions to be equal.

Partition Wizard done it's job with great ease, even a child could do it. Really.

My old GParted disc just hit the trash can!

A big thanks to C_C for this one.

Nibs I believe you are the one I originally heard on the topic of Partition Wizard.

Thanks for spreading the news.

I remember you and Veedaz discussing it, and I downloaded the iso file. But I forgot to burn the disc, and when I clean installed the computer, it was gone forever. I can't even count on both hands how many times that I needed this tool.

Oh well, better late than never.

I thought I would put this to the test so I let the neighbours 6yr old grandson test it out.

I now have twenty 8Gb partitions on my 320Gb HDD!!

Seriously though, best partition tool I've used.

Hi all and greetings (my first post! after abortively trying several times to register on IE last week - and being told I hadn't filled in the Image Verification string correctly - but fact was that on IE there wasn't one showing! As soon as I switched to Chrome, all was revealed, and here I am )

Anyway, are you all saying that Partition Wizard is better than the Windows built in Disk Management feature?

Coz I've used the Windows one a lot BUT I now have a freezing Windows 7 (which has caused me to try and re-install Windows 7 from my recovery disks) and I'm having problems. I use Acronis True Image Home for back-ups etc, and thought I'd make a clone (boot) copy on my ext. 1TB USB HDD. Ohhh damn, it's so complicated, it'll take me hours to explain. Maybe I'll start a new thread, and try and compose a post which makes sense!

Luc, For basic partitioning and formatting the standard Windows boot manager is fine but if you need to join non adjacent partitions, etc then you need something else.

If you wish to have an external drive hold an image using Acronis then your partition should be at least as big as the drive you are imaging.

As for this site not showing you the verification image, that means something is blocking it at your end, such as script blockers or the host site is blocked, etc.; next time try using the option "internet explorer (no addons)".

Yes, Partition Wizard is far superior over the built in Windows Disc Management tool. There's so much that you can do with it, far more than partitioning. You can even create a bootable disc of it, making it even more portable.
