I don't see a way to change a logical partition to primary.

After reading the comments I think I will steer clear of this one,seems like it may cause damage to my system..so I think I will pass up this one,thanks though

Tried to move Windows 10 OS from a 2X 240GB SSD Raid 0 Setup to a single 500GB SSD and it starts and seemingly completes. However the OS will not boot, first time I got startup repair when I changed partition sizes. Second time when I left it identical to the original partitions it just said to select "proper" boot device so it didn't recognize it at all. It shows up as an unallocated disk after booting to the original disks.

But I guess it's still better than (old software versions) HDDClone 3.9 Pro, Acronis Disk Director Suite 10, Acronis true image (2011 and before versions tested, I have 2 versions) as they either did not detect the drives (as raid din't seem to be supported in HDDClone) or TrueImage didn't boot from the CD properly so it probably doesn't support raid either. Disk director suite complains about there not being enough space, which isn't true..

Two problems: 1) it installed fine on VISTA. When I open it, it partially opens its window, then I get the error : "NUIBI Partition Editor has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."

2) I have two monitors. The partial window that does open, opens half on one, half on the other and will not move.

I deleted the old one, now I have none. Please help

Does this work without having to use windows 7 disk management?

Installed on Windows 10 (64 bit) and registered without any issues, but then NIUBI Partition Editor Professional 7.2.3 reported that my Primary HDD, Drive C, is NOT FORMATTED!! I closed the program, restarted it, and got the same result: Primary HDD, Drive C, is NOT FORMATTED!! Of course it is formatted, that's where I just installed the NIUBI program! What's going on here?

Besides several NTFS partitions I have 2 Ext4 and 1 Linux SWAP partitions that were created with MINItool. NIUBI shows the NTFS correctly but 2 EXT3 and a "blank" field in lieu of the Linux SWAP. How come?

Downloaded and installed fine on 64bit Windows10. Inputted the activation licence, fine. Went to browse through it and within seconds it disappeared. I tried a few times and still it happened. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and the same thing happened again. I have no idea what is going on here. Anyone any ideas?

To all GAOTD fans,

giveawayoftheday.com is really a great platform, there are so many lovely and professional computer users. Appreciate for all your complaints and suggestions.

Unlike read-only program, disk partition editor software may cause system and data damage. We know, data safety and time are most important, so we spent most of our time on these field.

We'll continue to add more features and improve the performance.
We are glad to hear any complaints and suggestions from you. Thank you!

NIUBI's Partition Editor seems a new kid on the block. As such, they're pursuing the same strategy used by EaseUS, & later AOMEI etc., offering giveaways to get their name and software out there, building recognition and hopefully a larger customer base. And like those more familiar names, there's no reason not to try it, though some may prefer the free version of a more well known brand.

NIUBI Partition Editor Pro advertises "1 Second Rollback"... On a conventional hard drive, data written to available storage space tends to be placed towards the beginning of the disk/partition, but can still be spread out across that available space. Running defrag moves all that data towards the beginning of the disk/partition. If existing data is in the way of shrinking a partition [because defrag wasn't run], or if the beginning of a partition needs to be moved [e.g. to grow the previous partition on a conventional hard drive], partitioning software can move the necessary data for you. That's where the "Rollback" comes in, providing a bit of a safety net if things go wrong.

That said, stuff happens. And because of that I'm a very firm believer in disk/partition image backups. In my opinion you should perform a disk or partition image backup on a regular basis, and if you have a current image backup on-hand, it's faster/easier/safer to just restore your partition image backups to a new partition size or arrangement or location. Besides, you really should have an image backup before doing anything with partitions, because no matter how good the partitioning software is, as I said, stuff happens -- it's your data, and ultimately you're the one responsible for it.

NUIBI also talks about their partition editor scanning bad sectors -- this is somewhat dangerous territory... Most all modern hard drives have excess capacity that their firmware will use if/when a bad [defective] sector is detected by that firmware. The hard drive manufacturer may provide software that checks their drives, causing this re-mapping to happen if/when necessary, or apps like Hard Disk Sentinel include a disk test that will cause the drive's firmware to recognize if sectors are bad, and thus re-map them. When that detection happens at the firmware level, things go on as always, BUT, if a bad sector is detected at the Windows software level, that can be added to the partition's NTFS records. When that happens, some software, e.g. disk backup &/or partitioning apps, will usually refuse to work. And it's a PITA to get that bad sector count removed from those NTFS records -- one way is to *Copy* the partition somewhere else, then move it [e.g. restore an image backup] in place of the original. You can restore a backup of the offending partition on a new disk, or do a disk clone, and neither will matter -- it'll still show the drive has a bad sector or sectors.

TK pointed out that NIUBI Partition Editor Pro doesn't handle dynamic disks/volumes -- for more on what those are, Google & you'll find lots of info. Since the tech is owned by Microsoft, a surprising amount of software, including from well known brands, does not fully support dynamic disks/volumes, so NUIBI is far from being alone in this regards. Obviously if you want/need this support, NIUBI Partition Editor Pro is not for you. OTOH Microsoft's Storage Spaces is newer & faster, reducing the use of dynamic disks/volumes. It would be useful to those using Storage Spaces to know if NIUBI Partition Editor Pro is 100% compatible.

Did anyone read the log-file "scan_log.txt"
Strange to see another name in it:

About "Create bootable media" :
- when i click on this button, a message says : ...here is no Windows AIK/ADK detected in your system,... (win 8.1)
- when i click on OK, new message : ""Access violation at address 00007FFF521AEA7D in module ’dm.api'. Read of address 0000000000000000."
- I close the program via the task manager and install ADK but the 2 messages remain the same…
- if I click on OK after the second message and click the buttons next or cancel on the window of create media, new message : "Access violation at address 0000000000C77664 in module ’npe.exe'. Read of address 0000000000000030."
- I then must close again the program via the task manager !

Does it work on Windows XP 32-bit?

Firstly I'd like to thank both GOTD & NIUBI for today's download. Installed on Windows 10 (64 bit) and registered without any issues and have used it to resize and create a new partition on a drive which was quick and painless. I see a lot of people complaining about certain features not being available, my answer to that is install something that has the features your looking for. Personally, I find this suits my needs, I have more powerful partition software on my other PC but I'm using this on a new build it's perfect for what I need it to do.

Question, on my Win10 64bit I plan to migrate to a larger HDD. Will this clone my entire HDD, including OS to the new HDD?

Downloaded, installed and registered without problem on my
Windows 7 Ultimat 64bit.

Very comparable to other software and runs without problem.

Tried it out on two spare drives that i use as test drives for this
type of program, clones, shrinks, expands and partitions without any problems.
It is faster than some that i have tried.

Thank you GTOD and NIUBI Tech.

Installed on my Windows 7 64 bit machine without any problems. Looks like a nice bit of software. I don't have a need for it now but in the future I will be sure to use it. Thanks NIUBI for the lifetime license and thank you GAOTD.

Lifetime licensee is good. but the only business I knowingly do with China is through Newegg, for hardware. I also prefer Russian and Eastern European software and hardware to Chinese. Thanks for the offer. I would have tried the clone feature first.

I installed and got message "storage access driver failed to install". Uninstalled, rebooted and tried again with same problem (twice).
Could it be my system?

nice software

Heya, just to ask, Test Defragment option on SSD and don't know what actually program do in this case. It seems it's not trim, because operation is slow.

Note there is a free edition. The professional edition comes with bootable media and '1 second rollback technology' - it'll recover if there is a problem while performing a partition operation.

Love that all the 'reviews' and 'customer feedbacks' on their website have professional studio portrait photographs with them. Very legit...

Anyone is free to claim they're the best. From the description, it's not convincing it's in anyway better than Minitools, Aomei, etc which are all free!

Can anyone shed any light, in what ways it's the best?

Thanks for lifetime license
