CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This freeware partition manager isn't cute as a button, but it's charming nevertheless. Cute Partition Manager requires that you make a boot CD or floppy, but the process is laughingly easy.
The interface is DOS circa 1994, with simple text on a solid background, but the screen is filled to the brim with useful information. Cute Partition Manager quickly finds every hard drive on your system. At a glance, you see every partition, boot type, file system, partition start and end, and total size. All controls are operated though the function keys. However, the publisher neglected to include an end program and reboot key.
Still, we found it easy to quickly add or alter partitions and change select settings. Unfortunately, you can't merge or resize existing partitions. Basic partitioning functions are easy to set and are often better than standard DOS functions. You can create more than 100 partitions per disk and preview changes; both processes that are difficult with similar software. For those who like collecting ISO images, you can easily create CPM's ISO directly from the interface. Not for novices, Cute Partition Manager is the kind of freeware every system administrator wants handy.

Version: Cute Partition Manager 0.9.8
"What is so special about this tool?"
Pros: easy creation of boot CD
Cons: What is so special about this tool? There are loads of partition tools, that do at least the same... I was hoping by reading the word "manage" to be able to resize my partitions. Not possible with this tool.

Version: Cute Partition Manager 0.9.8
Pros: This software cut through the competing technologies constructed over twenty years of personal computing. No old DOS or other partition manipulators could delete partitions on a disk being reinstalled with (dare I say it!) Vista software. Cute Partition Manager solved my problem - after a short learning curve.
Cons: I think all software utilities should carry instructions written for primary school children so that old retired buggers like me don't have to think anymore. It hurts!

Version: Cute Partition Manager 0.9.8
"Not a needed application with "Vista"."
Pros: "Vista" has it's own partition maker built in and it works great. Thus it's a useless tool if you are running a "Vista' operating system. I only use "Vista' now so I can't comment on how it is with "XP". But, usually, you get what you pay for.
Cons: I just can't see the bother with this application.
