This is a powerful tool which allows you to manage your hard disk partitions, such as creating partitions, deleting partitions, hiding partitions, formatting partitions, splitting partitions, merging partitions, resizing partitions and rebuilding the lost partition table. In addition, it provides some other useful functions, such as backuping partition table, recovering MBR (Master Boot Record), converting FAT/FAT32 file system to NTFS and so on. Generic partition tools can only do some basic operations such as creating, deleting or activating partition table. And these operations are limited to FAT/FAT32 partitions. Partition Genius broke these limitations. Using Partition Genius, you can create many types of partitions. Moreover, you can set detailed parameters of the partitions. In order to prevent mistakes, all simple operations like creating, deleting, activating and parameter configuring are not written to your hard disk immediately. They are saved in memory buffer instead. When they are completed with no errors , you can send out an "Apply" command selecting "Apply" from toolbar. Then this tool writes all your operations to your hard disk one_off.
