Aomei Partition Assistant Pro

Having a computer means having partitions on your hard disk. No hard disk can function without being partitioned. Maybe you remember the old disk utility for DOS, which you could use for creating or deleting partitions long way back. The tool was very difficult to use and it took a lot of time until a partition was created.

Newer operating systems have a tool for creating partitions during their setup process, but these tools are generally very limited. But with the improvements in technology, a whole new generation of partitioning tools have been launched. These tools are simple enough to be used even by inexperienced users but have enough features to be also good enough for advanced users.

Aomei Partition Assistant Pro is a very good example. It's a Windows application that allows performing every action regarding partitions. As such, it allows creating them, removing them, merging or extending partitions. All these are included in a simple and graphical interface. The software is compatible with most Windows versions and virtually any hard disk, no matter its size or type.

By displaying all the partitions and hard disks in a graphical way, the user can intuitively perform certain actions regarding them. All the operations are displayed in a list in the left part of the interface. One can create new partitions on the fly, just by entering their size and file system. Deleting or extending partitions is as easy as creating them.

Aomei Partition Assistant Pro includes a couple of wizards which allow copying all the information contained by a partition or hard disk to a new one. This can make migrating to a new computer as easy as ABC. There is also a wizard which allows extending the system partition. This is useful in case one has a partition that is too small to have a newer and more complex operating system installed on it.

Besides dealing with partition operations, the program also includes some extra tools. One of them allows checking the surface of the hard drive for bad sectors. This can be done either in a quick or deeper way. Furthermore, there is a feature for completely wiping a hard disk, completely removing all the data from it, so it cannot be recovered using specialized tools.
