I met virus while installing the software and the operation was intercepted by my anti-virus software program, again and the same situation.... What should I do? Anyway, I am using AOMEI Partition Assistant lite (a free edition for Windows server), at least it can meet my basic requirements: resize\ move \ split\copy\ create\ format\ delete\ align\ wipe\ check partitions, wipe hard drive, convert data between MBR and GPT partition styles, convert partition type between primary and logical drive.

Easy to install, but confused as to if this copy is registered. I never inputted anything but it appears to be registered. Using the program is easy as well, just be sure to watch the 2 min video that explains how to use it. Managed to gain almost 8GB of space that was just dormant in another partition. Suggestions would be to make the moving of partitions easier or more straight forward. I almost made the mistake of not watching the video first. Glad I did watch it as the moving of unallocated space may be an issue if not done properly.

I shrank my C:\ drive so my other partition to allow for more movies, pictures and downloads. It worked flawlessly
iM-Magic Partition Resizer Server has all the options I need. The application only contains 8 files in the C:\Program Files\IM-Magic\Partition Resizer directory totaling only 10 MB. It also includes a legacy driver and imp.lk, suite.vssMgr.exe and vssMgr.exe in the C:\Windows directory.
This is a huge benefit over programs like Eusus Partition Manager which totals almost 80MB including runtime files in the source directory. A long time back we were offered Eusus Partition Master Server with a total size of around 15 MB.
I downloaded Eusus Partition Master 11 and the size of the file was 48 MB.
From previous offers for Eusus Partition Manager, I believe the size was around 288MB.As far as I could tell, they both had the same options.
I give iM-Magic Partition Resizer Server a huge thumbs up.

Server resizing tools are more expensive than PC resizing tools and I'm grateful a server tool has been put here. I have a couple of older servers with small C drives that are configured such that I cannot expand them without moving all their E, F, G, etc. drive data off first and this should allow me to avoid that (after taking a backup of course).

I downloaded this program (v2.6.3) about a month ago and had no problems.
Attached is a "How to" file which will help the novice such as me.

My God, they do dig obscure companies up.
Before anyone even bothers to download I'd recommend to pay a short visit to their site and give Google or Bing a chance to throw some light on the product and the company itself.
I do not run a server myself, hence it is difficult for me to image that many of you are familiar with Windows servers.
My Synology NAS data server is as much as my experience goes (Linux).
However, over the many years with Windows PCs I have used quite a number of partitioning applications on my own machines, helping others, starting way back with Powerquest, continueing with Acronis and eventually also moving on to freeware such as EaseUs and Aomei.
Never would I want to play with partitioning software just for the sheer fun or hell of it though I never experienced any problem ever. Having said that I have known people to end up with non-bootable drives, data loss, quasi nervous breakdowns, heartaches, the lot. Usually it was either complete ignorance of the whole process in combination with "fail-guaranteed" software. Not only does you need to have a clear picture of how to go about it sensibly and when it is totally inadvisable to even think about it. A drive past it best times is not a good candidate to play with and without an image of the drive partition and full data backup the shortest period of power failure will make itself felt unpleasantly.
Good luck for today's test candidates!

Sigrid.DE, I second that opinion.

Can anyone advise if using this software to resize/split a partition results in data being lost? It says on their website it won't result in that but I've heard nightmare stories from people saying such software 'fails' and you lose the data. And the 1st comment made today stated their PC failed to boot after using this program - enough to make me reluctant to try it at all, and especially not without advice from someone who has used this program to resize/split a partition and can confirm no data/files were lost. I don't want to muck around with my C partition (1TB, also contains all personal files as no D drive) with Windows OS boot on it if there could be any chance of losing this boot process especially, and I don't have an external HD to copy my files to/make system image (house destroyed in fire & have just managed to buy new laptop - that I want to repartition - but no $ left for ext HD at moment). Any advice appreciated thanks.

maddy,
Doubt that anyone could guarantee you won't lose data; Windows and Murphy's Law are against you.
Although I've never tried this I wonder if it is possible to do a system backup to the cloud, possibly as part of a trial.
I believe AOMEI Backupper is available as freeware, I use their professional version all the time.
The MiniTool Partition Wizard is a really nice and easy to use program as noted in a number of comments today.
Repartitioned drives on many, many occasions without the slightest problem, but if you cannot afford failure wait until you have a backup.

maddy,
The hard drive I partitioned and resized is a 2 TB drive. No files were lost.
Even after changing the partition size some time later, nothing was lost.
All responsible partition software (including Minitools) remind users to do a backup of their data before the partitioning is executed. This is their sense of responsibility. This does not reflect that they are not confident of their software.
Normal wear and tear of hard drive is not caused by partition software.
Use Chkdsk once every 2 years to check your hard drive for bad sectors.
Hard drive is a moving part and emergence of a few bad sectors after many years of use is normal.

maddy, use the free disk management utility that is built in to Windows.

mike,
just a very short reply (btw thanks for your great efforts detailing the problem areas).
Partition software is not the sort you can truly test and practice with beforehand unless you have a spare machine with identical configuration.
However, resizing or merging normal data partitions is no great thing providing one does it with reasonable sense. It is not such a wonderful experience when the two partitions are or will be fairly full and on top of that filled with monster-size files. Of course, the grade of PC equipment also plays a role in such cases. People begin to act irrational and panick when seemingly nothing happens for a long time.

Excellent user interface.
Simple to use.
Powerful.
No unpleasant surprises.
No crashes.
No bugs.
No dirty tricks.
No hidden advertisements or compulsory toolbars to install.

ricohflex,
Was lucky enough to get the pro version when it was given away here just over a year ago.
Certainly one of the easiest to use and no problems so far.

ricohflex, can I please ask you if you can resize a partition with that free program and not lose the files etc on that partition? And/or of anyone knows if I can do that with today's giveaway? I have a new laptop and want to split the C drive which has my files and the boot process for Windows on it - it's 1TB and so far only has approx 400GB full, I figured I could split it into 2 (ie 2 times 500GB) then move the files from the 1st 500GB half of the partition to the 2nd 500GB half of the partition if that makes sense. Then I was thinking I could resize the 2 partitions, reducing the boot process one to (I don't really know...) but maybe 100GB, and resize the 2nd partition now with my files (to which I'd like to and will be adding over time many more) to 900GB (give or take a little as it's not quite a full 1TB, you know how that works - it's always a little less!). I just don't want to muck around with this 1TB partition if it could mean losing the boot process on it! Thanks, any advice is most appreciated! :)

maddy, no partition manager I have ever used to resize a partition has lost any of the files on that partition so far, the ones I've used include Minitools, Paragon Partition Manger, Aomei and Easeus so this one is not in any way exceptional with that claim.
Save | Cancel
maddy, I endorse what ricohflex says. This giveaway may be good but I wouldn't trust it on a newly bought machine.
Minitools Partition Wizard has a very good reputation and good help notes see....

Good luck

ricohflex, I like Minitools too: it's much more compact than most of the opposition (today's Giveaway excepted) but is still an efficient fully fledged disk management program. iM-Magic is a nice straightforward one-trick pony, which is fine if you just want to re-size a partition and nothing else; hard to see why they charge $159.99 for that, though. Incidentally, amon, there is a portable version for registered users.

dougDog, So long as all the partitions on the drive are "primary", then resizing won't cause problems. It is when you have "extended" partitions that you can lose data.
Save | Cancel
ricohflex, This is for use on servers, which Minitool would likely be of very little use, especially bearing in mind that they do MiniTool Partition Wizard Server especially for the job, so comparing this Giveaway to any regular product has no value.

PhilS,
You are right. I do not have servers. Just plain desktop.
IM Magic would be useful on a server.

Is there a portable version? Thanks

The specifications given on today's download page imply that it is for servers only.
However, this would appear not to be the case as shown in the following link:-
http://www.resize-c.com/unlimited/
Never had any problems modifying partitions, possibly because I prepare the drive beforehand.

Salvia,
Yeah!
Seeing that chart, it seems this software should work on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Win7/win8 and Windows Server 2000/2003/2008/2012.
Unfortunately, windows 8.1 and windows 10 don't seem to be supported...
And its cost should be $99 instead of $159, otherwise the product of today should be Partition Resizer Server Free Upgrade (with free upgrades...!!!).

TK,
Doubt there is any way I will get many + votes since I informed a number of idiots that they were idiots, whatever I write they mark me down.
Just like share from 35+ years of computer experience in the hope that it helps.
Therefore I didn't write too long a comment as I was sure others would scroll down the page.
Find it hard to understand why the requirements on the download page were so inaccurate and possibly limit the number of people who downloaded.
