Ranish Partition Manager is designed to create, delete, and resize partitions without losing the data on them. It formats FAT-16 and FAT-32 partitions. It also allows you to copy partitions and clone disks. Partition Manager comes with a boot manager, which allows you to install multiple operating systems on the same hard disk.
extremely powerful. I've been using it successfully with Dos, Win 3.1 - WinXP, Linux for many years.
Cons
Not for beginners. Has some quirks. can be used with windows 7 There are issues with partition boundaries used by win7 /vista But you know what you are doing I think it can be used with any partitioning scheme
Summary
An extremely versatile Partition Manager but not for beginners. 2.40 is not the latest version
A bit difficult for fruitful working

Pros
Nice frames but contents desires to be more understandable especially as to options
Cons
Migled ideas of making formatting
Summary
As someone said, "not for ametures"

Pros
IWhat got me was getting a error "there is no active partition"(my problem), but no way of knowing how to make it active. I seemed to get the FAT changed from NTFS to fat 32 9or 16 asit told me to do), but couldn't figure out how to make it active.
Cons
Colorful and that's about all for me at least
Summary
Simply, from a armatures point of view, a REAL help section would be nice or at the very least a "Read Me file". By selecting stuff or guessing only screws things up more than the original problem...mine being the FDISK wouldn't let me change the NTFS to fat 32 on my first Hard drive....and for somehow I managed to configue a 3rd HDD (I only have 2)...figure!

Pros
Maybe this tool has been useful once...
Cons
... but it can't even handle NTFS properly and displays the size incorrectly. Furthermore it did not detect my extended partition + logical drive, so I stopped trying to resize my partitions...

Excelente herramienta

Pros
Lo uso hace muchos años y es fantástico. Es pequeño, no pesa nada.<p>Mientras otras herramientas fallan, con Ranish he reparado discos con sus particiones destruidas, solo guardando la info de la tabla. <p>Es rápido y eficiente. He montado DOS, Linux, Windows 2000 y Windows 98 simultáneamente en la misma PC y los he arrancado fácilmente con su cargador incluido.
Cons
Es para gente que sabe lo que hace a nivel de máquina.
Summary
Not for beginners and not for Win XP
