Aomei Partition Assistant Professional Review

Brillient way to impove the hard drive performance by creating the partitions,Thanks to SOFTPEDIA for the wonderful giveaway.

nice program but not best.i want it.thanks softpedia !

Good software, with awesome features, but have a poor UI and some bugs when move partitions.

i need it , it's very available

Aomei Partition Assistant Professional is robust in windows partition It can create more space by adding new available space to your partition.

It would be great Software for me to have! I always have to go to my Friend's and use the GParted Software on his Ubuntu 10.04 to Partition the various Hard drives I help people to purchase and Partition at little or no profit...
"Aomei Partition Assistant Professional offers a wide set of options, which includes everything from resizing and moving the selected partition to splitting, merging, creating a new volume from unallocated space, formatting, deleting and even sanitizing. Additional choices let you hide a partition in Windows or change its letter and label". I'did be happy to win one!!!!!!!

As far as partitioning software goes, there are alot of them out there. Some are very easy to use than others and some are just plain difficult for especially the novice user. Aomei has a professional interface that should be familiar to persons who have used other such tools before. I tried other partitioners and they all lacked something or the other i needed, would like the opportunity to try this program to see if it is different.

I have used both trial and cracked (it's not legal, but that's it now) version of Acronis Disk Director so far. I was not impressed at all. When I tried to increase the size of C: - where I have my Windows 7 installed, it simply screwed up my Windows. I was not able to start after using Acronis. It's a shame considering the price of the software.

I like the fact that this version has got a somewhat limited, but FREE version. I'll give it a try. Being a giveaway, I hope I can get my hand on one of those licenses to upgrade to professional to unlock the other features as well.

To be honest, I find the price really high. Considering the fact that once you partition your hard drive, you may not need it again (I don't say never again, but most probably you won't use it for a looooooong time). Therefore it doesn’t make sense to spend money on such software at all. As I stated above, I had some bad experience with another commercial software - which it is now obvious why I didn't purchase. I'd recommend using the free alternatives out there. There are plenty of them, Paragon PM, Partition Wizard, Easeus PM Home, Cute PM, or even the older versions of Partition Magic could serve you well.

Also once you touch your partitions it's a good politics to always back up your data so you won't get into my shoes, losing your Windows, and having to reinstall everything. :)

Thank you Softpedia for this giveaway.

Aomei Partition Assistant Professional is a simple but powerful partition manager and it allows move,resize and merge partitions and also convert partitions.I thank softpedia for giving this giveaway and would like to win a license

Nice giveaway, Count me in...
Thanks for giveaway

I Thought This One is the most useful software of all partitions managers because of it,s features i love it and also softpedia

I haven't had any experience with partitioning yet but I'm willing to learn.

It's good!!!

The good:
1-everything for disk operations.
2-good chkdsk .
The Bad
1-too many options,
2-apply button must on the right side instead of reload button,

I hope will to get a license code of this program.

I think that softpedia is a woderful webpage. I trust you so much that I feel
happy whenever I see your name. Thnx for wonderful softwae.

Thank you so much for this Giveaway.Please count me in.This is my first time i have used Aomei Partition Assistant and i really like it.It seems a pretty useful application.We can easily create partitions,delete them,copy them,split them and can even merge them.We can also extend a partition with ease without even restarting the PC.I really like this tool.Hope i win one of the license key.

Regards

I am currently using Acronis Disk Director for partitioning & I would love to own a copy of Aomei Partition Assistant Professional.

Please include me in the draw.

Thank you!

I bought a 160g hard disk on my desktop PC and sent it to a service center to install a new operating system. When i got home i was confused why it only appears 80G available disk on "My Computer". I've asked to the computer store what is happening on my disk..They said it is just hiding! So i looked for a software and there you have it! I've tried the trial version and it works! I already got another drive on my disk. BRAVO!

I would like a better program than --> diskmgmt.msc. And Aomei Partition Assistant Professional would same me a lot of time tweaking my computer and my friend also. It look ease of use and a great interface. Thumbs up

I have four 5 drives or partitions in my PC. Each drive/partition is used for different purpose. But according to the need of different types of data/document storage, I need to enhance the size or volume of some of them and need to reduce some of them. That's why I need an effective and efficient partitioning software with easy to understand, user friendly interface like Aomei Partition Assistant Professional 4.0. So if you kindly give me one of it, it will do lots for me. Can I have one?

An excellent program. Clean and smooth running and has all the necessary functions. But the program lacks the ability to boot from CD/DVD or USB.
thanks Softpedia for this contest, for excellent taste, and for the chance!

I think it's a great partition tool and very easy to use with different storage

i've tested lots of partition management softwares and my first experience was partition magic, i always had problems with these type of softwares. i've tested the free version of Aomei partition assistant and i think this one looks promising, haven't seen any problem yet and hope to win the pro version.

Using the free version for about a year! Happy with it.
Will the giveaway license include free support? I am happy with the free version but cousin who is not so tech-savvy might need support. I am asking for a license for him if there is free support available in the pro version.

Well...I used partitioning software sometimes. I was pleased when I discovered that no restart is needed when you make a partition out of unallocated space :) .

I used the free version of Partition Assistant 3.0 and I found it simple, effective and very good for normal task, i.e. enlarging or shrinking partitions, get information about a partition, without leaving windows. Very well done.

It looks like a very nice piece of software. Merging partitions is a very usefull function in my opinion, a function that's not available in many programs of this type.

My friend recommended me aomei partition assistant home about a month ago, worked fine. straightforward options let me easily finish the extension for my system partition.
And several hours ago, my friend recommended me this giveaway again, truthfully, I really want to upgrade to pro edition because everybody think free is nice and i believe i got this opportunity.
The most important, I will recommend softpedia to all of my friends. And of course, I will recommend Aomei Partition Assistant to all.

Hello, softpedia, when I could receive one license. I checked my email inbox but nothing. Thanks!

Aomei is creating great competition to Boss like EaseUS.
Aomei PA as feature like NTFS partitions without reboot. Spilt and Merge features. Support up to 4TB which is mare than expected. a simple easy to understand UI.

Count me for Aomei Partition Assistant 4.
thanks for giveaway

Nice straight forward, easy to use software, very small download for the features it provides.
Count me in thanks, nice giveaway.

Aomei Partition Assistant seems to be a good partition manager.

Great tool used to resize partitions that were running out of space!!!!

Happy to try this partitioner. Sometimes disc builds will not work with one, but another does the job fine. The more SysAdsmin tools, the better ! Please provide a license so I can run it on a lab. test drive. Softpedia gets better & better ! Good idea to have a Rescue Discs hub, but it could easily be expanded almost 10-fold. Thanx bunches - Leshy -- leshy99@gmail.com

I have used the Classic Partition Magic with great success for most basic Windows routines and Easus Partition Manager for mixed boot installs, with Win and Linux partitions...and usually no problems. When I tried Aomel Partition Assistant, I got errors in reading partitions, as well as in fulfilling the exact required resizes and partition moves. It rendered an Ubuntu install basically slag...of course I had just done the basic Ubuntu install, tested that it worked fine, and could easily reinstall later if slag happened. However, many users would cry a lot if their long perfected and lovely install with all updates special drivers, etc., were so mangled, even if they had a restore DVD burned and sitting around, as that is just another layer of fuss. Why Partition management software has to be as Byzantine and hair raising is beyond me. Partition Magic is ancient and still has one of the best, least stressful interfaces and reliable performance, and fast, too. Some of the other partition managers are both scary and slow. That seems like a bad, bad trade off. I would like to try the "improved pro" version of Aomel, just to see what it is capable of. My clients might even like it, as they seem to think Easus is too complex for them. (OK, I know, I know, but that is their opinion, and we cannot alter that with a hammer, it is not usually seen as constructive). Cheers, and thanks for the good review! - Zenbob

Superb Software Nice functions and simple to use one of my best softwares please count me in,I have used many partition managers but this one is best i have used it,s free version that,s great but i really want it,s professional version please count me in


Thank You!

I have a 120 gigabyte drive that has already been partitioned into 3 partitions. i would like to know if aomei partition assistant can have an add on built into it to allow my computer push the hard drive to the safe maximum cylinders, tracks and sectors available. some manufacturers will down grade and ship for examply a 200 gb disk drive to only format 120 gb.
I used to use an apple computer and increased the total amount available on the floppy disk with a utility that extended the read/write armature and then retracted it to a safe margin of error and addted extra tracks to the floppy disk. Could aomei partition manager also add a disk alignment tool to the partition assistant it (it helps the disk drive)? and would they also be able to increase the number of bytes or words per sector? I am looking for such a utility and would like to use aomei partition assistem professional in case i have to reformat the hard disk. I am looking for a free backup online company to dump my operating system and files to. yes, i might also need a disk partition recovery tool. is there something to allow me to add sectors per track?

I volunteer at a non-profit organization that provides training for mature adults. As the turn-over rate for other volunteers seems high, I am constantly setting up computers with different configurations. It would be nice to be able to easily create hidden partitions where I can keep the commonly used images. I would certainly welcome the opportunity to test drive Aomei. Thanks Softpedia.

can I ask for a license? I am late but this should come very handy as I never like linux based partition stuff. This has a good interface, so easy to use.

john d

I missed the free giveaway, now I have to do it the hard way :)

Partition Assistant 3 was wat i used somtimes and I found it simple, effective and very good for normal task, partitions, and test healt etc to get information about a partitions

Provide best options towards disk partitioning such as resize, copy, merge split, space allocation features. The best one It has wizards for the above so know pain for your head.
thanks, count me softpedia.

Good program on the surface. I would give it a try.

Recieved an external Hard Drive, a gift from my son who sent it to me from London, i live in Australia, would love to partition the drive, and believe Aomei PAP Professional 4.0 would be My Best Help. Thanks in anticipation to Softpedia.

Great program. I like it, easy to use. Thank's for your give away.

i think it will be fine to purpose our serves

Overall it is a nice program. I'm not an advanced user, but I'm usually the one people come to with computer problems. This program, once you get used to the interface, can do almost everything needed for even the most messed up partitions. Thanks Softpedia for the giveaway!

This is my 2nd post, but I think it is really worth Saying. I tried the evaluation version on a flash drive with a bad partition, and was able to use the rebuild feature to recover the partition. --- Just wouldn’t let me apply it. :( Would love it for free in the awesome giveaway! Thanks Softpedia!

Good program Aomei partition pro.

I normally use Parted Magic for most of my partitioning needs. It's a great piece of free sofware that works with both Linux and Windows file systems. Can "Aomei Partition Assistant Professional Edition" be booted fom a CD/USB? Does it support Linux file systems such as ext3/4? or is it limited to Windows file systems only? I see no mention of Linux or Linux file systems in the above discription.

Partition assistant professional edition is a small but powerful program for handling partitions. I use it complimentary to easeus and paragon partition programs.

Though it is relatively small program but i found it having most of the features of these programs. Any action is first queued which can be edited and can be launched. I got PA pro 3 and 4 in their giveaway and found it to be really amazing. Though i experienced few problems in editing the partitions , it was only rare so it doesn't matter.

Thanks for the giveaway softpedia. Please announce such giveaways in a separate page softpedia....

it is good but cannot utilize it properly! it is good but not the best!

Aomei Partition Assistant very good program for comp!

So good! Will try!

L:ooks like it works good

I am a typical novice user who is too frightened to buy for fear of not knowing how or what I just bought. That being said, all of the positive comments persuaded me to at least try to win.

always looking for new tools for my PC/Tech repair business

Partition management software must be very secure in order to trust it. In my experience, specially for the least experienced users, this software must be very clear and easy to use to avoid information lost. There will always be some risk, but with the right tools and some knowledge, we can manage our drives and some other drives (I work as a technician) with ease.

Partition managers are double edged swords, I used partition magic once to create a Linux partition. It did it, but wiped off my windows. It took many re-installs to get it right. Like to see what I can do with Aomei.

some time back, I used a software to create a partition from a exist local disk. but unlucky it format the disk and I lost my data. I hope, this software do better than that.

The features are impressive, will recommend to my friends tooo

This is a good and solid partition manager. It's only for Windows I see.

i need it now... it a important software then any other now... i hope i get one please count me in ok.TQ Softpedia

I used to use Free Partition Manager and it was ok, I use it frequently and had no troubles with him. I think that with this kind of programs you have to know what you are doing because otherwise you are asking for troubles. I'll be glad to try Aomei Partition Assistant and share my thoughts with you all.

Used the home edition 4.0 on a PC partition and worked great, only sad part is I had to wait for it to restart. If only I had the proedition...

Can someone please tell me if the driver (ampa.sys) is installed to run permanently in the background or is just loaded when the applicatione needs it?

Partition Management is a truely interesting and intriquing subject!

I need a copy of AOMEI partion assistant. I have been working with computers sience Commodore and have been looking for a product like this.

Good programs..İam wanting a licance key !!!!!!!!

Although to use the Parted Magic and the GParted he has many and many years, I would very like to gain a license of the Aomei Partition Assistant Professional… Congratulations for the Softpedia for plus this prize to that they sanction to it…

omg I need a partition manager that knows what it's doing for me cuz I sure don't !

After reading the review, I would very interested to receive a license.
Many Thanks

Aomei Partition Assistant Professional seems like a tool that will be very useful in working with partitions. This will be especially true when working with RAID arrays and for partition splitting.

I really need a professional partition assistant - my old laptop came with Vista and I really want to use the 10Gb under XP OS. Oh, I'm interested in renaming my memory sticks and Aomei Partition Assistant Professional seems that will allow me this.

Aomei Partition Assistant Professional is a simple but powerful partition manager and it allows move,resize and merge partitions and also convert partitions.I thank softpedia for giving this giveaway and would like to win a license

Nice, Powerful, Robust and easy to use software.
Count me in & Thanks for the nice giveaway.

Aomei Partition Assistant is powerful and easy to use. It has a good clean interface that is intuitive for users.

please give me a one license i keen to use it,because very important software i need it only one... please thanks. very thanks for Softpedia to give this emergency opportunity

I have had mixed success with partition software. The easiest to use was Paragon Partition Magic 8 but it is no longer supported and I have had limited success with other partition software. I like gparted but I can only use it outside windows from a CD. I have tried trial versions of Partition Commander and the free Partition Manager (?), but I need to study the manuals thoroughly to really understand what I am doing. Partition Magic made it easy to read and assess what I needed as I went along.

great partition tool and latest version make a user friendly

looks ok and interesting to try as I tend to use either easus or paragon

i have tried my work with partition management software including the
windows disk management function, , partition manager....and haven't really found one of those keepers you just always fav. if i was to choose from what i tested i would have to say ..... partition manager. it' just
too hard to look at! help!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is PERFECT software.iam tried demo its cool.i want to try remaining but its limited.so i want one key

Having a good partition management software allows for the custom creation of a recovery partion to rebuild everything back from a failed drive as it once was. By simply cloning one partion to another this makes the recovery process painless!

This would be good to install Windows 7 besides Windows XP, so that we can use older software besides the new software at our company.

Have used Parted, Partition Magic, etc. -- each having their own short-comings (especially with removable/bootable media and with compressing partitions, defragmenting free space is generally a nightmare) so I'm always looking for improvements to the tools of the trade. If there's still a few licenses available, count me in!

Thanks :D

very useful for manage partitions. i used very often partitions tools and the software must be stable! thats very important. if the software is not stable it might be bad for the stored data on the disk. i think this software ist stable enought....

Would like to try it, tried many partition managers none seemed to do the job very well, or with bugs involved.

i need it good dragon year!

its a good program as far as the look and feel is concerned , easy to use , user friendly.
would love to have it.

good programs

This software is amazing, work fine and excellent in my computer. A serious alternative program to partitioning, like ghost or easeus. Very easy to use.

I enjoyed using this software. What a great utility. Softpedia, Thank you for letting me know a useful program, even though I only used with the limitations of the program because I do not have copyright
huyenchauthuc@yahoo.com

Would love to give this program a run

I have used many partition management software programs.
These day it seems all are very good. I have yet to find one that is inadequate. I am looking forward to see how this one may be different/better.

Very good software and recomended program to partitioning. User friendly & simple UI.

This sounds like EaseUS...came from nowere...

Nice software. I previously used EASEUS Partition Master home edition, but find this app more powerful. But the UI was better in EASEUS i think. Nice giveaway. Hoping to get a license.

Windows 7 Works to Check out & inspect, Shrink, Expand, Create, Change to Dynamic etc... I use it whenever possible, and when I don't I use ParAGON Partition Discs i have burnt, as well as ACTIVE-@-Boot Disc to deal with drives, System Mechanic Pro v10+ Has ability to Optimize SSD's BTW sweet! Ok cheers Enjoy Your PC Time. StanDP~"AVID PC ENTHUSIAST SINCE 1982,..."

Hi.OK:
I had my flashdisk broken.then brong it back with partition manager. they help you well.
Thanks anyway

II like it very good 5/5

A giveaway is always appreciated.

its Great software

This is just what i need.

A Partition Manager with support for Server Versions for free? count me in

By your review "Aomei Partition Assistant Professional" doesn't sound like it's worth downloading. Think I'll stay with "Parted Magic". The interface ain't so pretty, it's based on Linux and probably a bit tricky for a novice to use but it gets the job done. and the nice thing about it, it's free all the time. Thanks but no thanks.

I have used several hight cost disk partitioning programs including Partition Magic originally written and distributed by Power Quest and distributed later by Symantec and Acronis' partitioning program. I have been able to re-size partitions containg data with these programs without any bfaults occuring but the re-sizing process was never quick or especially easy. Increasing the size of one partition using space taken from another, non-adjacent, partition usually involved going through conversions of unallocated space, free space and used space to reach the final partition sizes that I wanted. Aommei Partition Assistant Pro 4.0 can accomplish the resizing of non-adjacent partitions without the previously required intermediate steps. This gives the Aommei program a great advantage in re-sizing partitions over the other programs I have used.

A few non starters in the review on this site;
"For the average home user, there are two versions of the program, a free one, Home Edition, and Professional. The latter has more features unlocked, yet the differences between them are not too steep.

@moving a drive in some cases is not accurate and may result in unwanted strips of unallocated space.

@This version of Aomei Partition Assistant Professional has not changed much since our previous encounter with the application, in that we noticed the same malfunctions.

Leaves one asking oneself, is it worth devoting the time or machine to test it when one could find another options with less limitations?

i'm disappointed using gweneral version of windows disk manager . thanks to the aomei partition assistant manager. the best software for disk management.

This is great to try this software (Aomei Partition Assistant Professional). I have been searching for this type of software and hope it will do what I want it to do and that is to turn my new hard drive into an unallotted drive, thus wiping away my failed attempts to install Windows in this unformatted new hard drive. Then I will format the drive, hopefully making it ready for my laptop.

good partition assist. For me, i try the free version and its exellent.

The last time I used partitioning software computers were still running DOS. Can't remeber what I used then, but it worked. Now I have a 1TB hard drive that Windows 7 doesn't label with a drive letter, but Control Panel does recognize. I need some software that will repartition this drive and let me have it back in a usable condition. Also need the siftware to physically scan it before anything else is done to it. This sounds like just the program that is needed. Will report back and let everyone know just how the progress and success went.

Will it work with external hard drives?

making partions is complex thing to do but with the help of such type of software this can be done alot easier nice sotware thanks

I would like to get a full licence of this tool as i always increase the size of my hdd drive due to low space and for that i have to format my pc. If this can do that for me without formatting then it would be great for me.

Have used proprietary and OSS partmanagers, and have yet to find a partmanager fit for purpose better than PMagic. Will see if this one is an "also ran".

Good Software For Home Users...
I Want To Change My C Drive Size...In Home Edition It is Not
Possible.....
I Need It Badly.....
The Last Hope Is Just Softpedia...[My Angel]

Good. should continue for other products also

I've not had an opportunity to use this software yet. It does however appear to offer a fairly broad range of operations. I look forward to giving it a go!

i'm very interesting with this program, i want to learn about partition

I think it's the most powerful partition manager in the world every one must use it

I bought a 1.5 terabyte drive & I made the Windows partition too small. Then my computer didn't see the rest of the hard drive at all. With the Home Edition of Partition Assistant, I was able to enlarge the Windows partition and split the hard drive into two more partitions in about five minutes. Very user friendly.

this is awsome

If this software allows you to add space to the c: drive without all the issues of using Acronis and others and with a GUI. Then we have a winner.

I don't see Wiping a drive and it becomming unallocated a bad thing. But the unwanted strips are of concern unless you can change them afterwords.

I don't think about me as a power user, but I stumble upon new OS installation into different machines. My biggest problem is the exact calculation of multipliers from b to B - all I want is to deliver a 'pretty' partition of 50 GB instead of 48.8 GB... Can Aomei help me with this? I'll tell you later! ;-)

With any partitioning program you will have some problems with moving and resizing partitions and you should always backup your data before doing any operation on a partition. This program seems to be as good as any other partitioning program that I have used such as gparted, paragon and easus master partitioner.

Aomei partition assistant it is the great partitions software, it is help me alot ,currently I'm using the home edition 4.0, i would like to win the Professional version. Thanks giveaway ,please count me in :)

ok lets see

I have used Aomei Partition Assistant home edition and it gave me fantastic results. Can't wait to get the professional version. Get this and you are a step ahead in disk management. Thanks.

Very nice! Will be usefull!

great program, i like it ..

I recently tried to clone a failing 1.5 TB Western Digital drive to a 3 TB Seagate with Acronis, Partition Magic and was unable to accomplish this the cloned drive would not boot due to a MBR error. I tied this again with a 3TB Western digital drive with their free version of Acronis and experienced the same results. Then I applied their windows align tool and like magic the drive booted. The align process took about three hours but I walked away and it happen. I didn't have to reinstall any software.

nice giveaway. count me in.

Count me in please...

i need it but try it first

have tried this software's trial version....it works as advertised

Aomei Partition Assistant Professional ln my opinion is perfect for creating, resizing, etc. partitions.

Normally I would use the Gparted for partition management, but it lacks the ability to add disks to a raid array looking forward to taking Aomei

this is very good software to resize fat32 and ntfs partition

Aomei is a great software it saves my Job, Many Many thanks

hmmm...so it hasn't changed much since previous version.Well still i'll give it try to see by myself bcoz previous one so was good...so..

Good interface but lacks some important Features......

There r so many apps for managing partitions. Most of them are very big programs. But aomei partition assitant has a low size but yet powerful on features..

It is capable of resizing/deleting/moving/formatting/exploring most of the types.

It is ideal for users having a lot of data and requiring a lot of drives. It also allows us to perform these operations without damaging any data..

Surely a useful prg for me.. Thanks aomei and softpedia...

It is an interesting software. I really wish and hope I could own one. If you give one...Thanks...if not...even then thanks for creating it.

Not lip service anymore, Partition Assistant has its own advantages, I still have version 3.0 that was I got through the giveaway, I even compare it with other software the results are really good and valid.
I'm glad to hear that Softpedia giveaway in Partition Assistant license. Would be happy if I can update the full version of Partition Assistant and free. Thanks Softpedia.
