![]() But, on a basic disk with GPT partitions, I can create new partitions on the free space instantaneously without any delay with Partition Wizard. Rather, it waits for the Windows operating system to restart so as a script runs the operations before Windows booting process is completed. So, Partition Wizard prefers not to apply it's operations like create, move/resize partitions "on the fly", at least in a dynamic disk. I tried creating a simple volume with the Partition Wizard and after entering partition size, It asked to restart the system to create new partition on a dynamic disk. After 5 seconds, Partition Wizard finished resizing and moving partitions quickly enough. On restart, when Windows starts booting, Partition Wizard console interface shows up and asked to press any key to quit the pending operations. ![]() After resizing and when I press apply, Partition Wizard asked to restart the system to complete the move-resizing operations. I tried to move and resize my data partition in a dynamic disk with Partition Wizard. It has options like converting dynamic disk to basic disk and GPT partition table into MBR and vice versa. On Basic disks, Partition Wizard supports align whole disk as well as align single partition. Minitool Partition Wizard Professional edition supports partition alignment which is a important factor when you are using SSD (Solid State Disk) as it affects the life of the SSD unlike conventional hard drives. Installation was quick and easy with a wizard interface. This is comparatively a small download 14.3 MB only. So, I decided to go and get the Minitool Partition Wizard. I was suggested to try Partition Wizard in a technical forum (message board). Partition Wizard Professional Edition 8.1.1 I've used paragon partition manager a few years back and I remember while resizing an NTFS partition it got stalled/frozen for quite a time before resuming. On the other hand, Paragon Partition Manager is user friendly and has a intuitive GUI. Though TestDisk offers basic as well as advanced recovery options, It lacks various features and easy to use UI as TestDisk obviously is a command line based tool. I have used Command line tool called TestDisk before as well as other software like Paragon Partition Manager (free edition). I was on the look out for a good partition management tool especially for reliable partition recovery. Minitool Partition Wizard Professional Edition 8.1.1
