Logical and primary partitions can be spotted at a glance because they are color-coded. Available disks, visible in the upper part of the application window, are loaded automatically and you can easily see the partition structure. Looks are intuitive enough not to give grief even to an absolute beginner user. No system restart is required, so you’ll have everything up and running in no time. Installing the program on the system is far from being a complicated job as you run through standard screens, with no attempt to push third-party software. GPT disks and SSDs are compatible with the application, too. The freebie appears to lack support for batch processing, which means that each task has to be carried out separately, amounting to more time spent on the overall task.Īs far as the supported file systems are concerned, IM-Magic Partition Resizer can recognize NTFS, FAT16, and 32. The Professional variant (evaluated here) works only with Windows 8/7/Vista/XP/2000, while the other paid versions also come with support for Windows Server 2000/2003/2008/2012, both 32- and 64-bit. The Professional version costs $29 / €25, the Server edition is $99 / €82, while IM-Magic Partition Resizer Unlimited comes for a whopping $299 / €244.Īccording to the comparison chart on the developer’s website, the major difference between them is operating system support.

The application is available in four editions, the poorest equipped one being free. IM-Magic Partition Resizer is specially designed to offer the means to modify the current structure of the hard disk in order to accommodate your needs. As long as no features apart from simply extending, shrinking, or moving a partition are required, you should not have too much trouble finding the right software. There are plenty of utilities up to the task and some of the good ones are even free of charge. Thanks to the tools on the market, even beginners can organize the disk into the necessary amount of drives.

Slicing a hard disk into partitions has turned into an easy task that no longer requires special computer skills to be carried out.
