I have installed this software Minitool Partition Manager Pro 9 and after the installation it requires an activation key... do i need to buy that ?

Great partitioning tool, still have mine installed from this giveaway.

Those will SSD's will appreciate the fact that it can be used to align partitions, though it may be best to perform this from the bootable CD. Even the 100% Free version is quite feature filled, this one offers a little more.

In case, if the partition got deleted or lost while performing the partitioning then try remo recovery tool to recover it.

Hurrah, that's what I was searching for, what a material!
present here at this weblog, thanks admin of this web page.

I do however regret that yesterday’s GAOD I did not get due to downloading issue and by the time it finished downloading at about 2:00am this morning it would not let me install :(

Thanks GOTD for this offering! I've been using the Free Mini Tool Partition Wizard for years & recommended to countless Windows users, and while it includes some nice functions (such as aligning SSD partitions), the Pro adds more function. For starters & the obvious, a 24" layout of the partitioning scheme, of course there's more, but how much more can be added. No WinPE bootable CD?

Great tool to have, and I'll agree with Karl, 7 Partition tools on the same install is indeed overkill & so would be 6 if this is the 7th! Three is plenty for me, plus I have various CD's of Pro versions I've won here or elsewhere. GOTD recently gave away the EaseUS Pro Partition software, this is a much better offering.

Clean install, followed by reboot, as always, I prefer to do this when installing software, just as I reboot when removing, this helps the action take better, coming or going.

Where is Giovanni these days? I deeply miss him, he always kept us up to date on Free alternatives, and an all around good person.

I realise that the v9.0 release is a retail release but i do have 2 questions - hopefully for MiniTool Support to answer.

Q1. how safe is it to use this program because at some point in the future MiniTool is almost certain to release a version update which is either to provide improved performance or for bug fixes

Q2. Should I stay with Version 8.1.1 until the version update is released even though that may be perhaps 6 months to a year away from now?

I know some complain about the giveaways not being upgradeable, but considering I had v8.1.1 from June 2014 and now 9.0 is available for free AGAIN I'm not complaining!

Installed on Win7 32-64 Bit sys, tested on 255 Gig Sony Flash and did what I couldn't do with Aomi similar prog.
It's very good and recommended to all who need such type of program .

Great thanks to the programmer of MiniTool Partition Wizard for V9.0 ! If you have the slightest idea of how partitions can make your life easier, THIS is the tool you want to use! I used V8.0 Pro from GAOTD a couple months back to transfer a dieing HD with 3 partitions and 2 operating systems (xp pro-32 & Win7-64) onto a new tech drive and it worked flawlessly, and much faster than I expected. Even shifting the FAT32 xp pro partition to NTFS went without a hitch. Get the ISO and burn it, keep it safe because it can save your data to another drive safely if you use it in time.

this is my hero software, thanks for sharing

I have installed it, but the referenced Bootable CD button just gets you to the same page to download the ISO file. I had the impression there was some sort of application to assist in creating bootable media. Am I missing something?

I also appears that there is just one version of the ISO.

hello folks,

I liked the way this program was reported on by some trustworthy folks so I downloaded it, and installed it on my windows 7 HP edition 64 bit computer. unfortunately, as with so much of the software made now a days, its completely inaccessible with a screen reader (note I use one of the top screen readers for the blind that is made, jaws for windows, available from www.freedomscientific.com)!

it installs smoothly, all the installation screens read great, and when the program is done and opens, the title shows up cleanly to my reader, unfortunately that's all that shows up. again I can not even find the items necessary to register the program, let alone run it!

I can almost bet this was made with a graphics interface, rather than a graphical windows standard one, which, sadly, lots of folks are going to, and none of the screen readers can "see" due to things being done with undecipherable images

I used this a couple of weeks ago to resize martitions and convert a 4tb disc from MBR to GPT and it worked perfectly.I also cloned a Boot drive to keep as a spare in case of emergency,again a faultless and very easy operation.
I use Windows 7 on this laptop and 64 bit O/S on the PC and it works fine on both versions.
A keeper.

works under windows 10 great clean interface nice FAQ in there website for beginners and experts. this software can and will save people a lot of time. if you have never used partition software this is a great one to learn from give it a try. thank you developer and GOTD

Somehow my reply to Eldad (question 14) got posted to the wrong thread. See it under questin 15)

MiniTool Partition Wizard very good tool.
also good alternatives: EaseUS Partition Master, AOMEI Partition Assistant, AOMEI Dynamic Disk Manager, Acronis Disk Director, Eassos PartitionGuru

We have the free version of Mini Partition Tool on a Win 7 PC and on a Win 8.1 laptop. Have to say it works great. It has two great features besides the partitioning stuff. Migrate OS to SSD and Partition Alignment tool are very handy to have!

Thank you GOTD Team and MiniTool Solution Ltd. for today's software giveaway. Installed and registered with no problems (Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit). I have been using the Pro version 8.1.1 for some time now, this is a very nice upgrade to get.

GATOD, please make it a requirement to comment if rating the software thumbs up or down. I think that the thumbs up/down does not provide an accurate picture of whether the software being given away is good, bad or indifferent. I do think there are users that can't find the "any" key (as in press any key to continue) and thus are skewing the software's rating.

Installed on my Win 7 x64 main system, and as already reported, it seems an excellent piece of software. It has so many options it would take an age to fully test, but it created a partition, I surface checked it, resized and generally messed about with it, all fine with no damage to Windows 10 which is installed on that drive.

I will definitely keep this, though for home use, I suspect I will not upgrade, as I tend to only rarely use a program like this, but many thanks to minitool and GOTD for this very nice gift.

Hello,
Not clear to me: Can it divide an unpartitioned HD (which is less than 10% of it's capacity filled) into 2 (or more) partitions, while preserving the existing data in one of the created partitions?

Hi all
I installed on both partitions (dual boot - 1 partition is Windows 8.1.3 & the other partition is Windows 10 TP Build 9926) - I tested the program as quickly as I dare on a couple of 320Gb USB hard drives - using the boot capability for one (Win 8.1) and just resizing under Win 10 - product was very quick & I dare say "professional" - very clean GUI & intuitive wizards (although I didn't use wizards to do my tasks today). For $39 Can - it seems to be in the ballpark (I would look at it for home use at $19 because how often does one use a program like this, and if you are a pro & you use it portably or on connected USB drives - then $39 is a steal). Couldn't find much I would change or add for this particular 'tool' - except - it should be in a tool-belt with other software & hardware tools & sold as a "Computer Tech's Starter Kit" Have a great day! It's a keeper for me!!

Apparently there is no boot CD for the Pro version. The only downloads are for the free and server versions.

After installing the program there's a Bootable CD button on the top right of the program when you open it. Just click the button and you can download the bootable ISO.

I downloaded the software giveaway just fine. But, what's up with the Mini-Tool Partition Wizard Bootable 9? All I get when I click on it, is a software to make .iso files? That's it! I thought that it would make a bootable CD, so as to boot my computer, when I have problems starting my computer?

Can this convert Exfat to NTFS without erasing the data? are there any alternatives for the same task?

MiniTool Partition Wizard has been in my toolbox for years, I think. A very handy tool to have at your USB device/stick. I don't know, if today's licence covers the portable version. I sure hope so. Thanks a lot for generous offer to, MiniTool Solution and the team behind GOTD.

Portable version : http://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/portable-partition-magic.html

Downloaded and installed just fine (Win7, 32-bit) but where/how does one enter the provided serial number? I cannot find and "registration" location. Thanks!

"Professional" but not for server OS! I suspect same will be true for the bootdisc, though I do ♥ the fact they provide it for us!

Thanks though & peace!

I don't see the plugin of making a bootable CD mentioned on the site:
"After you get the license of the advanced version of MiniTool partition software, there would be a snap-in bootable media builder which enables you to create the bootable partition manager."

And the program:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10366431/_GOTD/MiniToolPartitionWizardPro90_20150219/Openingsscherm.png

Just a icon to download the Free version.

Installed and registered without problem, opened up to a pleasant surprise!
On opening a really attractive interface is presented, easy to read even for these old eyes, and on the left a list of the many other functions other than partition modifications are shown.
Just as a matter of interest they include the following:-

Rebuild MBR.
Copy Disc (Clone)
Surface Test
Partition Recovery,
Wipe Disk.
Disc properties plus a few more and to crown it all and beautifully presented help file.

Not tested but am I going to keep it, you bet I am, one of the most attractive pieces of software I've seen for a long time. If you don't need a petitioning program download it for the help file alone, really useful information included.
What a pleasant start to my day!

Thumbs up just for providing a free bootable partition manager (http://www.partitionwizard.com/partition-wizard-bootable-cd.html)!

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system.

We had the previous version Partition Wizard Pro 8.1.1 on June 23, 2014, Here are the old reviews:
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/partition-wizard-pro-8-1-1/

A Canadian company with address, tel&fax.

This software has a long history. Version 4.0 was released on July 2009.

That's new in version 9.0:
Adds Migrate OS to SSD/HD Wizard and operating log.
Supports Storage Spaces in Windows 8.
Function improved & bug fixed.
Changes product name from MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to MiniTool Partition Wizard Free.

Don't forget to download the bootable disk from the program itself or from here:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/partition-wizard-bootable-cd.html

I'll simply repeat from my last comment (sorry...)
--------------
Upon start a resizable window opens. If you have ever worked with a partition tool, you recognize this window. It has a nice (hidden) feature: under help you can make a screenshot – a good way to save information about the current state. A clear interface with detailed information.

You can modify the partitions in every way, recover partitions and save partitions. You can copy a partition – if you could restore the same partition, you would have a complete backup program.

The link under data recovery leads to some freeware from the same producer.

I did not test the partitioning itself, assuming, that this would work as the other partition tools.

If you don’t have a partition tool, take this. It makes a good impression.

I’m not a software collector. I don’t need 7 partition tools on my PC. Even if you don't install this, you can keep the 71,6 MB .iso for some emergency tasks.

For $ 47,20, you can upgrade this excellent software:
