I used to use Patition Magic Pro from Norton to do disk partitioning.

Now that I have Windows 7, I have been warned, by the OS itself and later confirmed on the internet, that Partition Magic Pro has compatibility issues with Windows 7.

So, I am asking you which software partitioning software do you recommend. It would be great if it was freeware but I know it is hard to find a good parititioning app that's free, so, if you know a good one that's paid, there's no problem and please mention it in your reply.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am aware of "create and format disk partitions feature" of Windows 7, but that's not enough for me. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bits.

  • I used the Storage module in the control panel -> computer administration, along with gparted. Both worked fine. What is is that you want to do that can't be handled by the in built partition software ?

  • I want to extend my C: drive, but the "extend volume" option isn't available. I suppose that's because it is some kind of special parition since it contains the OS.

My choice would be:

MiniTool Partition Wizard - Freeware.

Other alternatives are:

Paragon Partition Manager Personal - Not free but there is an offer on now and its reduced by quite a bit.

or

Acronis Partition Manager - Also not free.

If you want a bootable CD to perform partitioning tasks, these are a couple of options:

Partition Wizard Bootable CD

or

gparted

I've used: EASEUS Partition Master 6.0.1 - Best Free Magic Partition Manager http://www.partition-tool.com/ It's free and it works
