Since Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 is no longer compatible with Windows 7, I'm in need of an alternative.

I'm not interested in Acronis Disk Director Suite workarounds, particularly not an application as dangerous as a partition manager. I don't want to mess it up my partitions due to incompatibality.

Anyone got any ideas? Open Source, Commercial or Freeware, doesn't mater!

So what are you looking for then? Your title indicates you are looking for a partition manager, but you state "I'm not interested in workarounds, particularly not an application as dangerous as a partition manager." ? – John T Oct 24 '09 at 19:51
Not a workaround, a fully Windows 7 compatible partition manager. – Don Salva Oct 24 '09 at 20:02
What kind of features will you need? For instance, what filesystems are you going to need support for? – Nathaniel Oct 24 '09 at 20:25
resolved. Partition Wizard has it all ;) – Don Salva Oct 24 '09 at 21:38

The Windows 7 built-in partition manager is quite good.

Just right-click Computer, choose Manage, and go to Disk Management under Storage.
Right-click on a partition to bring up a context menu.

See for example Resize a Partition for Free in Windows 7 or Vista.

+1 built-in rocks and if there's anything missing from the graphical interface, you can usually reach it using the diskpart command line version anyway ^^ – Oskar Duveborn Oct 24 '09 at 20:25
