Utilities for Managing Partitions

Sometimes, we need to perform partition tasks, for example regenerating the MBR, copying a disk, doing a disk surface test, allocating disk space etc. Operating systems provide built-in tools for creating, deleting, or resizing partitions. However, we would like to use third-party applications doing these types of tasks. Those applications might be easy to use and more flexible than the built-in partition tool. Here are several good partition manager utilities. Free editions are available.

1. AOMEI Partition Assistant
2. EaseUS Partition Master
3. Macrorit Disk Partition Expert
4. MiniTool Partition Wizard
5. Paragon Partition Manager
