Easeus Partition Manager

Should Easeus Partition Manager be added somewhere in this article? Please help me with my uncertinty, thanks.--megamanfan3 (talk) 14:41, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EaseUS has no article, so unless you find a reliable source for notability, no, it shouldn't be added. --Hm2k (talk) 09:00, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean Partition Master? I don't think Easeus have a product called Partition Manager?? Naki (talk) 15:40, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, it seems Feb 23, 2009 EASEUS Partition Manager was renamed as EASEUS Partition Master. Naki (talk) 19:07, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had Easeus Partition Manager 6.01 and it could not convert partitions from primary to logical and and a result could not create a new (logical) partition. Other software I have also could not do these things. A friend told me about Easeus Partition Master 8.01.I downloaded it today (freeware) and found that it was greatly improved. It did the above jobs that the earlier versions and other software could not.

Paragon's Manager (proffesional version ) has demo (trial version ) , but without warning , that is non-operational. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.102.13.155 (talk) 21:11, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acronis's director's demo is also non-operational , althrough welcome screen says: " fully operational ". This is mentioned in version comparison . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.102.13.155 (talk) 04:02, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of this article

This article must be deleted according to this discussion and result about the deletion of similar list like articles like this one. An aticle of deletion should be created here: Wikipedia:List of disk partitioning software. (Onle registered users can do this, so not me) --91.89.137.62 (talk) 15:52, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete, article/list is useful and must stay. Naki (talk) 15:44, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs to be rewritten, updated and expanded --- NOT deleted. There is a need for a good article on this topic, but this article is hopelessly incomplete and out of date. I hope some enthusiasts will come forward and do the job.

The link for "BootIt NG" (see below) in the table is redirecting to the article about Bing, which isn't its purpose i guess.

Yes. You might notice that the initials are B.I.N.G. They even brought a lawsuit against Microsoft for possible confusion [[1]] Tumacama (talk) 20:01, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. Apparently the article was nominated for deletion, which is why the redirect is in place Tumacama (talk) 20:01, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Windows software + some issues

  • None of the windows freeware available is included. This biases the article toward paid Windows software. If a free version (for home non-commercial usage) exists, it should be mentioned, as this list is used by people as first step for partitioning tool selection.
  • Support for >2TB HDD should be compared in a separate column. Since some software I tried do not support >2TB. Additional columns might be ability to format, delete, resize, move, merge, split, convert, and wipe partitions, as well as hide, unhide, and make them active or inactive. Perhaps more than one table needed to cover all.

13:52, 27 April 2012 edit

Snarespenguin, what is your justification for your first edit of this article? I like the smaller font, but your replacement of a few columns with a single "Maintained?" column nullified some of the research time that I and others expended to improve the article, and thus made it less helpful for those of us that refer to it on a recurring basis. -JohnAlbertRigali (talk) 13:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the page and others like because I was referring to them often and I was getting frustrated with the way the information was presented, often incomplete with superfluous out of date and inaccurate information. I saw that these pages were going to remain in a messy state and thus took the initiative to improve the pages and update the information to be as accurate as possible as well as simple to understand. The pages did not reflect the high standard seen elsewhere on Wikipedia nor did they present the information in a way that could be understood, rather the way they were set out were off putting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snarespenguin (talk • contribs) 23:28, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snarespenguin, after taking some time to "cool down" and research this matter, I discovered that:

My concern regarding your edit is moot now, but because your edit nonetheless rendered this article useless to me, I'm contemplating the creation of Comparison of disk partitioning software using this list's previous table format. -JohnAlbertRigali (talk) 16:46, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Operating Systems implemented

This table lacks a column telling what operating systems are supported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.140.212.154 (talk) 20:09, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
