MiniTool Partition Wizard reports different partitions to others
Hello everyone
Very much a newbie to this OS and to partitioning with MiniTool Partition Wizard. It seems lots of folk here use this tool so as I can't find an answer anywhere to this thing that's bugging me ... .
I installed and used 'MT' to 'Expand' my C drive, taking a chunk from the D drive to its left. All looks fine until I go to Macrium Reflect to make a backup and its reporting an entirely different partition schedule to MT. In fact it's reporting an older one with un-resized partitions and a third partition which I formatted as NTFS (using Disk Management) as HFS+, which it was previously. So what does Disk Management now say? Same as MT. OK, I think, so Macrium's wrong, best not use that then. But it niggles me so I boot with a GParted Live CD. But that agrees with Macrium and moreover reports the 'chunk' I thought I'd taken from the D drive as unallocated.
So which is right, MT/DM or Macrium/GParted?
This is probably more worrysome because I'm new to this side of the field but any insights would be most appreciated.
Best,
S
