The only available partition space it found was on our C drive (which we did not want to change) not our 320GB D drive or the 650GB external drive with 93GB of free space we wanted to partition.Ĭhaos potential: Inexperienced users who want to create a separate partition for their music files (for example) on their C drive might accidentally wipe the wrong partition (Paragon recommends backups we strongly agree). Too little control: The software looks for the first disk to create a partition, then the next, and so on. It's free: Users have comparatively few choices in freeware disk partitioning tools, so Paragon's entry is certainly welcome.Ĭomplicated documentation: We're not sure which is more complex the software's algorithms or the documentation explaining them. Mac and back: A built-in NTSF/HFS+ Conversion Wizard can make your Windows disks accessible to your Mac and your Mac disks accessible in Windows. All you have to do is check some basic options and let the software do the rest. Mostly automated: Paragon Partition Manager scans your disks to identify existing partitions and available free space. Advanced users may need more control than this software's algorithms permit. Paragon Partition Manager 2014 Free aims to make it easy to create, resize, reformat, and delete hard disk partitions, but its wizard-based processes compromise flexibility.
