Storing all your data and your operating system (OS) on one partition is certainly not optimal for effective data organization and safety. If you’ve got one partition that holds all your documents, favorite music, movies and family photos as well as your OS, it may negatively affect the system. The result: poor performance in file search/access and read/write operations, and inconvenient handling for you. With Paragon Partition Manager you can detach the OS from data, or segment different types of data by splitting a partition or creating new ones.

Resize or merge partitions without data loss, Hot Resize - enlarge NTFS partitions without rebooting Windows, install new OS, redistribute free space, convert Primary partition to Logical and vice versa, Update Master Boot Record (MBR)!

Create, format, delete, undelete, hide or unhide partition, set partition active/inactive, set, change or remove drive letter, change hard disk partition label (Volume Label), convert file systems, check file system integrity, run complete surface test!

After installing a number of resource-consuming applications and system updates, your system partition (NTFS formatted) may have started to suffer from a lack of free space. If your adjacent data partition has plenty of redundant space, you can enlarge an NTFS partition (system, locked) with Paragon Partition Manager Home without rebooting Windows and interrupting your work.

Create, format and delete partitions
Hide/unhide partition, set partition active/inactive
Copy and move partition of any file system, quick and sector-by-sector modes
Set or change drive letter (Windows NT/2000/XP only)
Change hard disk partition Label (Volume Label)
Advanced hard disk partitioning operations:
Resize hard disk partitions with data
Hot Resize (upward) - enlarge NTFS partition without rebooting Windows and interrupting its work
Copy disk to disk
Copy with resize
Convert file system
