EASEUS for partitioning?

[kaju]

Has anyone of you used EASEUS Partition Master? Is it any good?
Until now I have used Partition Magic but now I have a problem that PM cannot fix. I tried the demo version of Easeus and it looked promising. But how is it really?

I used it to resize some of my partitions without any problems. It detected my Promise FastTrak 378 controller where some other partition tools failed. I have used it only onces though...

Thanks wouterz. Good news.

The problem is my brand new Acer Travelmate 6593G lap top that had a Win 7 and an option to downgrade to Xp. As it had a set of dvds for downgrade to Xp Pro I - of course - did it. Everything ok, but when I wanted to repartition the 250 GB hard disk and tried Partition Magic as I have always done in similar situations it didn't work.
Partition Magic just told it could not find the disk letter, "Partition’s drive letter cannot be identified (Error 117)".

Although it's not absolutely necessary to repartion the HD I would rather do it. I tried a demo version of EASEUS and it looked promising so maybe I just try a full version. If it doesn't work I think I can reinstall the downgrade Xp Pro. There are not yet too many of my favourite programs installed on the HD.

Martin Walker (no relation!) gave it the thumbs up in Sound On Sound earlier this year:

I respect his opinion - he's normally very thorough and unbiased.

Thanks Ben.
As Martin said: "After 10 years, I’ve finally abandoned Partition Magic!".

I used it to repartition two internal hd's, reformat my external hd to ntfs last year. Everything went smoothly and I've not had any problems since. Great software!

Yeah, great software.
I just used it for the task that was impossible for Partition Magic. Working with Easeus seems to be really easy and fast.

Thanks guys again.
