Partition Magic v9.0 Full Version

Today, even a modest notebook can come with a 100GB hard drive. Common sense dictates that you partition big drives to separate data, programs, and different kinds of content (your photos and MP3 files,

for example). Not only will it help you organize your computing life, but having smaller partitions lets you get better control of backups. Face it: You're a lot more likely to do a regular backup on a 20GB partition than on a full 100GB disk. And for power users or administrators, partitioning also lets you install Windows alongside Linux or most any other OS.

Partitioning utilities offer full control over sizing partitions, and all the utilities here provide boot managers that let Windows and Linux coexist. You can also optimize cluster sizes and create recovery disks for emergencies. Of course, choosing the right partition manager is a must, as a failure during partitioning usually means total data loss. Luckily, the current crop of tools is battle-tested, and ready for users who want to get better control of their data.
