Reviews for MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro
This little software can help you recover from a lost partition when you format by accident. I got the majority of my thing back.
The best thing about this software it doesn’t try to copy to another disk no it just remake the table so much quicker than other recovery software
Windows’s built-in disk management utility does a good enough job, and let’s you manage your PC’s partitions, allowing you to perform tasks like resize, create, delete and format partitions, as well as change their drive letters. But, the ability of the disk management utility is very limited, and to gain further control and ability a third-party application is needed.
MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro is a reliable partition and hard drive manager for Windows that comes packed with all the basic disk management feature plus the advanced features that you can’t even think about performing with Windows disk management utility.
Installation
The installer size is ~68MB and the installation process is simple and straightforward. After launching, the application automatically detects all your disk drives and partitions on them, and shows details about them in a table form and also a graphical form.
Interface
The interface does not look really pleasing to the eyes, and look cluttered. Although, it has been arranged and designed that way to provide ease-of-use and make sure all the features and tools are accessible at the click of a button. At the top is menu bar and the toolbar containing drop-down menus and important tools respectively. Under it is a graphical preview of disk drives and their partitions, followed by a list containing info about all the disk drives. The left-side window contains different operations and wizards which can be performed with disks.
Basic to Advanced Features
The application comes with the ability to perform many disk and partition operations. You can format your partition to a new file system and change cluster size of it. You can create new partitions, change its label, and assign it a drive letter. Another feature I like is the ability to extend and existing partition by taking some free space from other partition on the same disk.
Moreover, you can move/resize your partitions between different disk drives. The tool also comes with the ability to merge two partitions together, safely without any loss of data. Large partitions can be split in to two or more partitions too. Partitions can be copied to other drives too easily.
There is a special wizard to help users migrate their OS safely from one drive to another (HDD to SSD or vice versa). This is especially useful when you upgrade your hardware and want to move OS to the new drive. There are many more features including a surface test option, that checks surface of the partition and identify if it has got any bad sectors. Last but not the least, there is an option to safely wipe your partitions or disk drives, it comes with different wiping methods like, Fill sectors with zero, Fill sectors with one, Fill sectors with zero and one, DoD 5220.22- M (3 passes), and DoD 5220.28- STD (7 passes).
Pros
Easy-to-use
Wide-range of features including the most basic features to complex advanced features
Queues commands, and does not execute them until you’re sure and press ‘Apply’ button.
Supports most Hard Disk & File System types
Wizard-based features make the tool suitable to use for even the novices.
Partition Recovery Wizard to help recover lost or deleted partitions.
Cons
The user interface looks cluttered and is not a pleasing experience for the eyes.
Conclusion
MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro is a reliable and efficient software application, with a lot of tools which allows you to perform many operations with the disks and partitions. It works great and runs smoothly without any errors and crashes. The ability to queue tasks and running them only when ‘Apply’ button is clicked, keeps you on the safe side in case when you delete important partitions by mistake or do something you are not sure about. It is a tool definitely worth having in your tool box.
I´ve been using other similar programs, but this one is the best program of it’s kind!
Simple to use, and efective.
Everyone should have it on PC.
Thanks.
Mac
useful application
Excelente herramienta de particiones 100% recomendado , Gracias
May be a good program, but on a high-res display the right side of the entire “Actions and Wizards” menu is cut off so it’s unreadable and unusable. I asked their tech support via chat and was told this is a known issue and will be fixed in a future version. I might have thought that somewhere in their evolution through NINE versions they would have fixed it by now. So the software doesn’t work on higher end displays, and I can’t trust that that they will fix it soon, since they haven’t yet through 9 iterations. So sorry, this one is a looser for me. Too bad, I’m sure it’s a good program otherwise.

How high of a res display are you referring to ? I typically run 1024 x 768, in rare cases 1152 x 864 (? can’t recall what that 2nd. value is), and never more than 1280 by 1024, or whatever that is.
I did notice that a *previous* giveaway version of this did not provide the bootable disc option, and I think some other features were absent also. Switching to that one turned out to be a mistake, but that may now be correctable with this one.
One the the best programs of it’s kind!
Really good software to have ! A+

no tanto mi amigo el mejor de todos es el EaseUS Partition Master, pero es pago, y este que casi hace lo mismo , es gratis.
The MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro 9 is an amazing partition manager tool to guys who have multiple PCs or work in a tech support department. MiniTool takes all the native partition manager tools you will find in the native Windows OS and makes them even better. It combines this with additional capabilities like restoring deleted or damaged partitions and MBR rebuilding giving you the perfect tool that will help you handle any hard disk related challenges.
I found it quite useful with all the partition management features. Since it can view Linux/Unix partitions, I no longer have to walk around with a live Linux CD that gives me access to the powerful Linux partition manager, GParted. With MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro 9, I can achieve virtually anything I would ever need to when dealing with hard disks
Pros
Wide capabilities list
MiniTool Partition Wizard bristles with functionality. These range from simple splitting partition or converting from GPT to MBR to complex tasks like aligning partitions to enhance hard disk performance. I found most of these features quite useful in managing my hard disks.
Detailed operation logs
The operation logs will come in hand if you want to remember whatever you did to a hard disk a couple of days ago. The logs will keep track of all the changes and manipulations you did to a hard disk and give them a unique reference number making it easy to analyze everything especially if you manage a great deal of hard disks in a day.
Has a bootable version
This levels out the playing ground and does away with the need for a working operating system to run the mini partition tool. The bootable edition supports boot from UEFI. You can put it on a CD or walk around with it in a flash drive. This makes it a useful tool to IT support guys.
Cons
A little bit slow
Even though it will load all the hard disks, both physical and virtual automatically, it does take some time to show you the entire list. It takes some bit of patience to work with it.
Could be catastrophic if you lose power while using it
Some operations could turn catastrophic if you lose power while doing it. There is no buffer to protect your data or an automated rollback mechanism to keep your hard disks safe from partial conversions or resizing.
Verdict
MiniTool Partition Wizard is an amazing all-round hard drive management tool. It’s diversity and rich functionality catalog will come in handy one day or another. It is a definite must have to anyone who calls him or herself a system admin. It doesn’t matter whether you admin your own PC or are on a company’s support desk.

See my review above. It might be a good program, and I suspect it is, but it doesn’t work on high-end displays. That, and the fact that they haven’t fixed that should-be urgent issue yet, means I can’t recommend it yet. It would be good for you to add negatives to your reviews too, along with the usually glowing praise. I appreciate your work, but reviews without a balanced report make them useless. (Every program can’t be “amazing”).
Got news for ya. This GIVEAWAY VERSION does NOT include the facility to create bootable media. Had I known this I would not have removed my version 9. Thanks a lot.
Excellent and friendly!
