 Enlarging an existing partition July 8, 2008

All that I needed to do was enlarge the C partition that Sony had made on the Vaio computer, and Partiton Commander 10 worked very well.

I recently ran the defrag program that is part of Partition Commander 10.1. Rather than moving the files, it made the partition inaccessible. I booted up using the Partition Commander recovery disc, but the partition showed as unformatted. I have a Dell laptop and run Vista (pre-Sp1).
Searching the company's website didn't uncover any helpful info.
In a prior job, I rebuilt PCs and repaired laptops. I can usually retrieve some data from machines that haven't sustained physical damage. I ran one of my favorite programs called Zero Assumption Recovery. It was able to recover 7% of the files on the partition. In the end, I reformatted the partition and reinstalled all my programs.
I have been a long time user of System Commander (another product from Avanquest/V-Com). It works better than Partition Commander, but also has some unpleasant "quirks".
I like the features of these products. When they work, they are very helpful. When these programs don't work, they may cause you hours of misery.

I realize that my review is not about this product, but I think it is relevant to potential purchasers of Avanquest products. I do not know anything about this particular program, but have had considerable difficulty with Avanquest as detailed below.
I purchased My Ultimate Organizer 7.0 via download and subsequent key.
I am not making this up - the product displayed a message in Serbo-Croatian telling me the key had expired.
Four hours later with Technical Support and the problem is still not resolved (despite erasing the program, reinstalling, trying different keys, searching the Windows Registry, etc). It takes a full hour on hold to get a technical support representative and at the conclusion of the last session, I was told to contact Customer Service for a CD copy in the hopes that that would resolve the issue. Now Customer Service tells me Technical Support must send me the copy, although Technical Support says otherwise. I am out $30 for a program that is at this point, totally useless, and left adrift by Avanquest who has my money and refuses to help me.
I would purchase Avanquest products with extreme caution. If you have a Technical Support issue, you will have to wait a minimum of 60 minutes on hold (no 800 number), and then get fairly substandard service after that.

All in all, the product did what I asked it to do. Although I found that it was a lot easier to boot from the disk and perform tasks from there. Under Vista Ultimate the Commander 10 would not allow me to combine the boot drive with another partition. However, it did alow me to combine the partitions once I had rebooted the machine with the Commander disk.
 Worse than Version 8 February 17, 2008

I liked version 8 of Partition Commander and used the CD to partition numerous hard drives. Today at a client, my trusty version 8 CD wouldn't boot on a new HP Workstation, so I purchased the new version 10 of Partition Commander at a local Office Depot. Sad to say, after going through the rigamarole of installing the software (and activating it which required setting up an Internet connection) and creating the Recovery CD (because the new install CD doesn't double as a proper boot CD), the Recovery CD failed to boot the system. I tried a couple of other blank CD's--no luck; I also tried creating the three boot floppies and booted on an external USB floppy drive (the new Workstation didn't come with its own floppy drive)--it booted and went into the program and I selected move/resize to reduce drive C to 70 GB from 140 GB (I was going to create a separate additonal drive paratition); but the program crapped out with an error message. Perhaps the HP Workstation is rigged so that one cannot partition the drive, but that seems rather incredible. Anyway I'm sorely disappointed with the new version. I'm going to test the Recovery CD on other computers, but the CD drive on the HP Workstation works--after all, it installed the program.
