    "Good one and very easy to use"

    February 6, 2010  |   By neel_ponda

    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"

    February 5, 2010  |   By SNiemoelle

    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"

    February 4, 2010  |   By jmwintenn

    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!"

    February 4, 2010  |   By JerryAPowers

    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"

    January 30, 2010  |   By hoangdieutrinh

    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.

    Updated on Feb 17, 2010

    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, 2010

    I tested with 2 ACTIVE MOUNTED partitions on 2 different disks (one is an image of the boot system partition)

    "Avoid like the plague!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    January 27, 2010  |   By bongobry

    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"

    January 25, 2010  |   By Damelend

    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
