<description><![CDATA[Semi-Destructive on Win7 x64. Vista x86 with a BSoD on drive twice.

Appeared to work, one drive at a time. Second drive has a BSoD twice, could only hard boot.
Would not resize partitions on two drives at the same time. Had to run software on one hard drive at a time.

Had a serious issue come around when trying to boot to Win7. Partition kept coming up as "dirty" and of course got nailed with that Win7 CHKDSK hanging on the 1 in countdown timer - never had this before installing/using this software.

Had to use the ER Win7 disc, and ran chkdsk /r from the command prompt, and thousands of strange file entries to File 9 were displayed for over an hour.
Eventually got back into Win7 and some applications aren't quite working as well, and may have to reinstall, which will also remove a few GAOTD software.

This software feels more like beta than gold software.

Still recovering from the after effects, and some things just aren't working correctly. Had to rebuild the shadow file as it was hosed.

Never had any of these issues till I used this software.

Dell XPS 630i, Win7 x64 &amp; Vista x86, 4GB RAM, ST364032 &amp; WD00AAKS-75L9A hard drives.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Fubar 1 (above) - "My recommendation with these types of utilities is the same as always. Unless you really need some feature which Windows Disk Management doesn’t have, stick with Windows Disk Management."

later, Fubar suggesting  "... you can’t be bothered to spend like, 10 seconds searching Google before posting here"

Strangeness all around - having said thisa on the same topic. . .]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Only one of hundreds of replys:
"Works with my OCZ Rally2 2GB drive but not with my more recent SanDisk Cruzer Micro Skin.
It also reads the capacity wrongly on the SanDisk"

No single word I wrote about this  issue is faulty.
But I see: You can´t be convinced that it´s NO GOOD IDEA for average users not to play on this.
Peoples sata loss seems not to mean anything to you.

(by the way : I PLAYED with formatting even 5 Years ago but gave it up due to aboe issues.

Good night, smart aleck.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#77, ws, you can't be bothered to spend like, 10 seconds searching Google before posting here?  A recent article is <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/17/partition-usb-flash-drives/" rel="nofollow">Partition USB Flash Drives</a>.  There are many much earlier articles, because they all use the Lexar USB Format tool (widely available), which has been around since 1994, to turn off the Removable bit on the flash drive.  There is no change to Windows at all, no need to load special drivers, etc.  It won't work with all flash drives, but many.  You partition and format the USB flash drive with Windows Disk Manager (which means you can select partition type, file system type, etc.)  People have successfully installed TeraByte <a href="http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootit-next-generation.htm" rel="nofollow">BootIt™ Next Generation</a> on their flash drives.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#76 fubar,

Thanks as always for the informed comments. Concise accurate information actually backed up with facts , not rhetoric and misinformation. 

As for the other topic spread out in these comments. Let the moths keep going toward the flame that they believe in so much. It's they that will get burned not I!!!!!!!!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sorry, Fubar:
"As for the silliness about memory cards and USB flash drives, guess what, they all look like hard disks to Windows. That means that they have a partition and you can format them to your liking."

to part 1: nothing more to say as: YES (but seem not to understand what that really means).
to part 2: you are absolutlely wrong if you intermingel the type of formatting with partitioning (of course there esxist a "partitiion" but you seem not to understand the meaning and the differences; Even the MBR and following sectors (nuber and contents) are very different from that of a real HD; thats why you need special(!!!) flash drives or a driver to make windows believe that it is  non removeable)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#21, Alt Brown, #37,47, ws, obviously, I did install Partition Master.  I didn't say not to install it, although there may be risks, such as changes to security settings, which I presently don't test for.  I said not to use it if Windows already does what you want, which it generally does.  It's surprising how many people come here to GOTD and feel that they have to use some questionable third-party tool just because they got it for free, when they don't even know what tools already come with Windows.

As for the silliness about memory cards and USB flash drives, guess what, they all look like hard disks to Windows.  That means that they have a partition and you can format them to your liking.  Also, all of your drives can be assigned a drive letter, including optical drives.

Here is Vista Disk Management, showing <a href="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/SpaceCadet04/Disk%20Management/DiskManagementProperties.png" rel="nofollow">all of my drives</a> (1632 x 1232).  You'll note that my USB flash drive has a partition, I reformatted it to NTFS, and I can set Properties like ReadyBoost and Quota.  I can't do any of those things with Partition Master.

Here is Vista Disk Management's <a href="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/SpaceCadet04/Disk%20Management/DiskManagementMenu.png" rel="nofollow">menu</a> (1632 x 1232), showing that it's perfectly capable of shrinking and extending (when space is available) partitions.  Of course, before shrinking a partition, you should use a disk defragmenter which consolidates free space at the end of the partition.

Here is <a href="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/SpaceCadet04/Disk%20Management/PartitionMaster.png" rel="nofollow">Partition Master</a> (1632 x 1232), showing not much of anything, although it at least shows one of my external USB hard drives which was connected at the time.  This was after rebooting to make sure that it was using its latest drivers.  Note the horrible fonts.  Despite the large amount of screen space, note the failure to display the label for my D volume in the graph.  Note the lack of scaling of drive capacities.  Windows Disk Management doesn't use correct scales, but it at least gives you a visual idea of which physical drives are larger.

As for the ranting about USB flash drives and Windows, it's true that Windows doesn't like multiple partitions on flash drives.  While you can muck with Windows to allow that, it's easier to just change the USB flash drive's setting to non-removable, which permits multiple partitions.

As for the ranting about Windows and Linux, etc., partitions, while there's some convenience in a single tool, here's a thought.  Use Windows tools for Windows partitions, Linux tools for Linux partitions, etc.  You're much more likely to get correct partition support and not lose your data.]]></description>
