Guest Eric Goldberg Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 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

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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_manager

Guest ju.c Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Re: Partition Software 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.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Re: Partition Software 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.

Guest Eric Goldberg Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Re: Partition Software 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
Guest ju.c Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Re: Partition Software > "I'm guessing that may be a bit overkill if all he wants is a partition manager, but I haven't > used it." I have. I've tested over 30 Partition Managers. Creating working partitions easily and safely is not "overkill". > "Like what? (talking about version 8 here) (but it's the only Norton product I allowed on my > system)" Many, but you should try them all yourself to really know, you can read this comparison: Partition software http://www.aboutpartition.com/partition-software/ ju.c "Bill in Co." <not_really_here@earthlink.net> wrote in message news:#JwtughBJHA.2292@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > ju.c wrote: >> There is nothing better than Acronis Disk Director, especially for a novice. > > I'm guessing that may be a bit overkill if all he wants is a partition manager, but I haven't used > it. > >> It is simple enough for the beginner, yet powerful enough for the advanced. >> >> Partition Magic is only OK.
