"Good one and very easy to use"
Version: Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2.2
Pros
Very easy to use interface and it did its job very well! I had only 2 partitions C (290 GB) and D (10 GB). This tool allowed me to create another partition F (200 GB) after shrinking C.
Cons
It takes some hours to copy the data from one partition to other especially if the partitions are over 100 GBs.
Summary
Recommended Tool !

"Easy & quick"
Version: Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2.2
Pros
It worked wonderfully and did exactly as it claimed. Purchased a new drive but when I copied my old data onto it, it was only a 40 gig partition on a 500 gig drive. Extended it with no data lost.
Cons
None that I can tell

"works and is free"
Version: Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2.2
Pros
i needed to take back part of my hd from linux,but i didnt wanna do it through linux's built in partition utility for fear of losing windows.i was able to delete the data ont eh linux partition and give it back to windows
Cons
not any,it does what it says it does,it's free,and it worked with vista,so i was happy
Summary
the only thing i might like to see,and it might be able to do this,i just don't feel like backing everything up and trying,is that i couldn't put the space i took back from linux and put it on my main windows partition,so now i have C,D(thank you hp....not)and F as hd space.ill probably play with it later and see if i can or not

"Worked FANTASTIC!"
Version: Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2.2
Pros
The GUI was very good and intuitive as well as the Help. It was very easy and best of all it was FREE!
Cons
None that I could find.
Summary
I have been having problems for about 5 days getting a new 400GB hard drive cloned from an old 80GB drive that was my boot drive for Windows XP Pro. I miss the old days of Fdisk and Xcopy. I tried several programs for cloning with unsatisfactory results including setting the drive letter as "D" and setting the partition and hard drive to match the old 80GB drive. It was extremely frustrating until I found this tool. By the way, I used the ISO file to create a bootable CD that made all of the difference for me.

"Simple, easy to use"
Version: Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2.2
Pros
Works well, causes no problem to my pc.
Cons
None to my knowledge
Summary
I did not submit 2 or more operations at a time (e.g.: resize 1 partition, create a second one, name it ...etc...) I juste resized 1 partition and that did the job. I use it again and again.
The best. This software could delete, resize or do anything else with an ACTIVE partition by restarting Windows . Easeus partition home master could not do that.

Updated on Feb 18, 2010I tested with 2 ACTIVE MOUNTED partitions on 2 different disks (one is an image of the boot system partition) -
"Avoid like the plague!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Version: Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2.2
Pros
Looks nice and simple
Cons
DESTROYED MY LAPTOP
Summary
This software destroyed my new-ish Acer Aspire 3575 (Vista) laptop. About 85% into resizing my partitions the computer just... died. It spent the next hour in a sort of blank limbo, even though the power was still on. I was then informed that that my laptop had errors and couldn't boot up. The automated Windows System Recovery couldn't fix it, neither could the Partion Wizard's own Boot disk, which did nothing when I selected "restore partitions" mode other than to show me my hidden backup partition had been deleted/lost (I didn't touch this crucial partition when using the software.). The backups I'd made onto my external drive also wouldn't restore either, because the new partition-sizes were registered, so my backups wouldn't fit in with the new partition sizes. To summarize..... this software may work for some but for anyone with an Acer Vista laptop please avoid this at all costs!

"Performed as advertised, easy-to-use and no mistakes =D"
Version: Partition Wizard Home Edition 4.2.2
Pros
Simplicity and Effectiveness.
Cons
None to my knowledge
Summary
I downloaded and installed as soon as the file was complete, I ran the software on my new laptop to partition the 250gb HD, most of the space was clear so the software ran quickly, but creating and resizing partitions was as easy as can be. Most of the settings are prefixed and require no adjustments unless you have specific needs, I have already recommended and will continue to, great product =D
