It has a little bug where the partition size is not shown correctly. I resized one of my partitions a few days ago to 60GB. In Windows 7 this partition was shown as 56GB unformatted!!! After saving all data to an external drive using a recovery tool, I expanded the volume to 60GB using Windows Disk Management Utility and the partition auto-magically reappeared as valid. But that only worked because I hadn't resized the partition behind it, so there was still enough free space. Also the gparted Live-CD project currently suggests using an older version since those do work without problems. See <a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php" rel="nofollow">http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php</a> Just in case someone already ran into such problem ;) Hi@all,

Why not stay with Easeus--and if one watches the right sites, Paragon has a great Partition Manager for free. GParted–well, most folks are going to wipe their drive using it.
