Hello There!

Are you new to Partition Manager? If yes you are at the right place.  With growing hard drive capacity, the need to reasonably split up the space is more important than ever. This easy-to-use partitioning tool is ideal for re-structuring your hard disk for optimal and effective data storage.

One of the great features of Partition Manager is Recovery Media. Have you created your backup Boot CD using your Partition Manager?  Read on….

Recovery Media is a feature of Partition Manager which can be used as a backup whenever your hard disk is unable to boot. It gives an opportunity to get access to the hard disk for maintenance and recovery purposes. It can be created as a bootable CD, DVD or USB thumb drive, whichever way you want it. In cases like a boot fail, a Recovery Media is quite handy to have to perform functions like:

  • Access important data and copy them to a different secure location.
  • Perform disk partitioning operations when no OS’ are available.
  • Correct unbootable situations using Update MBR,using Boot Correctos (available for Professional and Server versions)
  • Fix crashed operating systems.
