    Partitioning with Windows 7


    Has anyone use Partition Wizard 4 for doing partitioning operations in 7? It looks good and is offered Free for home use and also works with Vista. I looked at Disk Management and it appears clunky and incomplete and difficult.

    Yes. When I upgraded to Win7 I was left with a small D: partition that was no longer needed for restore files. I deleted it with Partition Wizard and resized C: to take up the slack. I didn't find it very intuitive, but when I'd watched the website videos it made more sense. It worked perfectly. The .iso file version to make a Partition Wizard boot disk might well be handy too, so I've burnt it to disk - hoping never to need it!

    Regards,

    I have used Partition Magic for years and I like the graphic interface and Partition Wizard is nearly the same in most respects. Easy to use and understand and it works great. I just resized my C: drive from 186 GB down to 100GB and it did so in 12 minutes. Worked fine for me.

    Right, but what don't you like about Disk Management?

    In all fairness Disk Management lacks a lot of features that can be found in 3rd party tools...
    It's been this way for awhile.

    Still does the basics though. Don't need software for that.
