Windows – Hard drive partitioning software for Windows

hard drivepartitionwindows

I'm looking for a good disk partitioning/management software suite. I've been using Acronis Disk Director but I've had a few data corruption issues which I think might be related to it (especially after reading comments on the Internet about it bricking other people's hard drives).

Some basic things I'm looking for are:

  • Runs on Windows.
  • Can boot from CD / create a bootable rescue CD to run the software.
  • Can handle most basic partitioning tasks – deleting, creating, resizing, splitting, merging, etc.
  • Handles at least Windows and Linux partitions / file systems.
  • Stable and safe!
  • Not too expensive.

I'm only managing a few home machines here, so I don't need any features for managing large deployments.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

ubuntu live cd has a partition editor that i often use.

also gparted is another favorite

they dont "run on" windows, but are windows compatable. they are LiveCDs.

also both are free

i believe both are stable and safe, i have never had any problems
