Anyone using it ? Reviews ? How about the "bootable media" ... will it create a bootable rescue CD or even possibly a bootable rescue thum drive ??? Are there any free ones that you know off that are good and will create bootable CD or ideally flash drive? Thank you, Steve Karl

It works great from the rescue CD though - and I also use the Acronis boot manager, so you can run the partition manager from there ie before you boot into a partition. I'm not sure if it works with a USB drive, but it works fine from a CD. -- =========== John Braner http://cdbaby.com/cd/JohnBraner http://www.soundclick.com/johnbraner

But partition Manager is probably the same way. You may also want to check out Paragon Hard Disk Manager. I'm still learning this program since it came with my new laptop but it runs on 64-bit, and when I checked out their forum I was struck by the prompt response time and relative lack of complaints...

Paragon's a good product, I use it. I use Easeus too, it fixed one system Acronis and Paragon couldn't. IMO you can't have too many tools for fixing problems with partitions, boot sectors etc. As Ben mentioned, the unix based cd's, also Ultimate Boot CD for Windows, BartPE, WinPE, etc. are all good to have at hand. Whatever works is what you should use -- Sue Morton "Phoenix" <> wrote in message news:-september.org... > On Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:52:57 -0400, "Steve_Karl" <> > wrote: >> "John Braner" <> wrote in message > news:hqs7k9$804$-september.org... >> > On 23/04/2010 12:25, Steve_Karl wrote: >> >> Anyone using it ?
