![]() ![]() Many of us here are well aware of the roots of that individual's sad obsession like Ashraf, we choose not to take any notice of it. Save | Lesley, post #4: Though it's reasonable to assume that 18 different individuals down-voted Ashraf's review at post #1, what you're seeing isn't the work of "you ungrateful lot" but of an embittered anonymous spammer who persists in trying to manipulate this forum to discredit / discourage Ashraf. ![]() There is NO WAY any competent person could vote this "giveaway" "Partition Expert Pro" program without at least weeks of experience with it on multiple PCs. It took weeks using Gparted with a number of PCs, until I felt certain that Gparted deserves a vote of confidence. GParted is freeware with an option to donate to the project. GParted runs from an external boot of Linux using your choice of an external hard drive, CD ROM, DVD ROM, memory card or USB stick. ANY partition editor which runs under a primary operating system is dangerous. I use GParted, which runs WITHOUT Mac, Linux desktop, Windows or any other primary operating system. I can understand where negative votes could come from quickly: (examples: a)if the program fails to start, b)if it crashes your computer, c)if it destroys your partition table, etc., etc.) HOW can a virtually unknown partition editor have so many positive votes so fast? Giving a reasonable test to a partition editor requires a waiting period to make sure that your partitions still work properly under all conditions. I've had to service PCs from people who thought they could use any old partition editor to extend, resize, and move partitions, just to end up with an unbootable PC. This isn't like running a word processor or game. The main difference is that the non-Windows software is somewhat more user-friendly and has a prettier GUI.ĭata, videos, pictures, documents, music - anything but programs - are fine to be stored on different disks. The Disk Management software that comes with Windows is also very adequate. Easeus & AEOMEI were the last 2 I tried and both did the job with out any problems at all. In corporate IT I've tried very many different Partition Managers over the more than last 20 years. When you do a backup you should always back up 'C:' in conjunction with 'S:'.ĭata, videos, pictures, documents, music - anything but programs - are fine to be stored on different disks. Regardless of which logical disk the software is installed to, the Registry and System settings and savings will still be saved to the OS drive (C:), and it makes the most sense to have the programs reside on the same disk as the OS. ![]() Installing puts entries into the registry. Typically programs must be installed and aren't just copied. The main difference is that the non-Windows software is somewhat more user-friendly and has a prettier GUI.Įarly in the comments TerryB talked about how he partitioned his disk and stated 'So I have my partitions as Drive C: for only the OS and major software, S: other Software'.It really should be specified that only non installed (non-registered) software should be stored to 'S: other Software'.
