Yer, I have heard that one is quite good but anything that starts with Norton I'm a bit suspect about.
Ditto on the suspect...I only use Norton Partitonmagic and Norton Ghost...2 brill tools and they don't leave anything running in the background.

Terabyte's BootIt - Absolutely rock solid and it can also do boot management (and allow for up to 255 primary partitions), and basic imaging. At the moment, it can't handle drives/partitions greater than 2 Terabytes in size, but this limitation should be lifted later this year, according to the developer.

I use Partition magic
+1 for GParted. The fact that it's completely free helps.

Acronis Disk Director, never had any issues with it does the job well and fast, used to use partition magic back in the day when it wasnt nortons
+1 on that... Used gparted the other day to move / extend a partition, v happy considering it's free. As above, if you don't need anything fancy use the one included in the installer / OS.

Stopped using Partition Magic after it screwed up my partitions when trying to resize my OS partition when Vista x64 used up all the available space.
Ended up using a productfrom Easus in the end which worked a treat.

better still, download the Parted Magic boot cd.
It's a free disc, containing GParted and loads of other useful recovery tools
It's a bootable ISO, under 100mb
Better than the norton crap, more functional than Acronis & Paragon. and best of all, 100% free

I definitely agree on the suspect bit but iirc Norton Partition Magic isn't a true Norton product, they just purchased it from somewhere else and put Norton on the front of it.
I'm sure I've got one of the Partition Magic disks somewhere, before it was a Norton product.
I've been using Partition Magic for years and never had any problems with it.

seriously, once you've tried parted magic (no not partition magic) you'll only use that
Sorry not gone to the linky yet....but is it supported on 64Bit Windows OS ?
Don
it's a live boot cd, you don't need any OS to run it.
you just need to burn the iso using imgburn, then restart and boot from cd.
