Windows 7 Partition Software

Charper2013 · Jan 1, 2010, 03:41 AM

I need some free software to manage/create partitions. Acronis Disk Keeper is nice but no W7 compatibility.

Win 7 comes with the ability to do just about everything but resize partitions (which is hard when they're in use anyway)

What are you trying to do?

I use Gparted. I have the image on a dvd and whenever I need to do something, I boot from it, and it loads it's little OS and you can do whatever you need to do with it.

Thanks guys. Well I wanted to resize a few of my partitions and I found a great free program called Partition Wizard.

Last time I used GParted I ended up having to use the Windows install disk to fix the MBR.

I might look into Partition Wizard as well, gparted has scared me off.

Its wonderful. Only free thing I found with support for W7 that does what I want it to.

Cool, I've been looking for a good Win7 partition tool myself. I've had some bad experiences with GParted (it's great for the most part, just failed me a few times), so I try to avoid using it.
