Comments on: Partition like a pro, but for free

Easeus Partition Manager brings a robust and diverse set of drive management tools to users of both operating systems, and is poised to compete with Partition Magic and other pay-for-play programs' most basic features.

It can be used as a partition editor, disk rescue for those nasty oops events and can also launch a terminal screen for file editing, bring up the network for getting drivers, etc.

see it at: http://partedmagic.com/

Small iso - about 150mb and is bootable.

Try it.

DISASTROUS. I tried to delete a prtition that I was not using. Not only has it done that, it has deleted part of my primary partition and left my pc so that it will not boot. I cannot even re-install windows.

DO NOT TOUCH THIS SOFTWARE WITHOUT SERIOUS EXPERT HELP.

by xZero2007x January 26, 2009 5:23 PM PST: Lol I haven't tried Easeus Partition Manager yet, but judging by your comment, you failboated pretty bad. If you had just said it deleted multiple partitions, that'd be an interesting find and I'd say it sounds like a systematic error. But you obviously don't know what you're doing if you can't re-install windows, or at least figure out why you can't do it.

But hey--here's some "expert help" for you. Don't mess with deleting/altering data without a back up made before hand. While you're at it, if you're too confident in your ability to do something that can break whatever you're working on, just make the back up and don't toy around with it. lol.

Oh, if you didn't attempt to write/delete anything on your HDD after the accidental deletion, you may be able to recover your data, amount of it depending on how much activity your HDD's been going through. But I'd recommend letting a geek friend or hiring someone competent to do this part for you if that data means that much to you.
..and ask them to re-install an OS for you. looool.; Like this

by brickman5721 January 26, 2009 7:42 PM PST: Okay, so you did mention this in your article, but GParted is the best free way to accomplish this task. It does not require you to install anything, and anyone who can use this tool can use GParted. Check it out.; Like this Reply to this comment


by scythie January 27, 2009 4:25 AM PST: I have the Pro version of this [from GAOTD]. Works like a charm! Successfully created a partition for my Windows 7 install, then successfully deleted that partition after I got a bit sick of 7.; Like this Reply to this comment


by panoskan January 30, 2009 12:31 AM PST: Great program for partition management within Windows. I also use parted magic booting from a usb.
These two programs have solve most of my problems.; Like this Reply to this comment


by kamper1 February 23, 2009 2:45 PM PST: It worked great for me. Very simple to use. I only needed to access the part of my new larger harddrive that was bigger than windows would recognize and I was able to do it without reading the manual. Great straight forward program.; Like this Reply to this comment
