Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on January 22, 2009
A plucky little piece of freeware that packs a subtle punch, Easeus Partition Manager partitions hard drives like a reigning champ. Loaded with features, EPM runs smoothly and lacks only a glitzy interface.
A row of task icons sits on the toolbar, followed by a Windows XP-style left nav and central pane that shows your hard drives and information about them. To partition a disk, click on one of the drives and then use either the toolbar or the context menu to run the Resize feature. This brings up a slider for adjusting the drive volume sizes. You can also use the text fields to set a partition size precisely. Hit OK to run the resizing, and then run the Create feature. This will allow you format and label the partition in the newly-created empty space. While running, EPM will keeps you informed of the progress of the overall task, as well as the multiple steps it takes in partitioning your drive. A helpful color-key lives in the status bar at the bottom, divvying up drives by type as well as allocation use.
Other useful features include partition copying, a boot disk creator, a Properties option that will tell you everything from the physical geometry of the drive to the serial number, drive letter swapping, and password protection. In testing these features, the only glitch encountered occurred when a task had completed and the program window hid behind other active program windows. This did not, however, affect the use or execution of EPM, and we recommend it unequivocally for partitioning tasks.

Version: Easeus Partition Master Home Edition 4.1.1
Pros: I've been a loyal PowerQuest PM user for years. Unfortunately, obsolescence is on the horizon; a substitute is needed. The $70 price tag on Norton seems excessive considering Symantec hasn't endeavored to make any significant changes to the original.
Cons: I haven't tried the software outside of XP yet, so it's hard to say. Just be careful folks. Always work with a safety net....
Summary: Hats off to the folks in Chengdu for mimicking all the functionality including PM's GUI. Easy to work with and it works as advertised.

Version: Easeus Partition Master Home Edition 4.1.1
"Better than most I have used"
Pros: Never lost any data with it from resizing, to moving to copying partitions. Most actionsl run in Windows, others run in batch mode (C drive stuff). Partition copy is very nice, allowing copy on the same or another drive.
Cons: With bad hard drives, disk errors occasionally abort an action, never any data loss, but the error description is not good. I knew the disks were bad, just trying to save what I could. I'd like to know why, when it fails.
Summary: I used Partition magic for many years until discovering this product. I like this a lot better. It has also been ported to UBCD for Windows, so you can have it CD bootable for free there too.
