Does anyone know where one can download the mini tool Partition Wizard without the wretched AVG search bar being a non option please?
I saw the new version and started the download which automatically uninstalls the previous version before I realised that this piece of erm something had to go with it?
Yep! the *******s have bloated it with AVG, and there is no choice not to install....that has changed. There goes their reputation.
Try the CD version instead and see if it helps:
Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to manage partition directly with partition manager bootable CD.
A good alternative that I have used many times without any trouble: EaseUS Partition Master - pick free one of the list
Hum thanks fellas and yeah Golden they have gone down in my rankings of the best apps - actually was thinking of buying it but not now.
The EaseUS I was suing the to do version and it was good but was rather limited by the cloning feature only being able to clone small to large drive and not the other way round but I'll try the bootable CD and try out that unchecking the custom. I hadn't noticed there was such a thing.
All the same mini tool
I've always just shrunk partitions as required before cloning.
It doesn't really matter to me if I've got to use more than one small app to get a job done, as long as each app is reliable in performing its intended job. It may take a few more steps but as long as it works it doesn't really bother me too much.
