| Why should I partitioning my hard disk drives
There are many reasons to use hard disk partition software like Acronis Disk Director Suite. They all come down to this: Partitioning the hard disk makes your life a lot easier and sometimes saves your data and your neck.
Disk partitioning:
Limits Accidental or Deliberate Damage To Your Data
With Acronis Disk Director Suite, you can separate your applications into separate partitions and put their data in other partitions. If an application becomes corrupted or is accidentally deleted, it is easier to contain the damage in a single partition. Hard drive partition recovery is faster than having to recover the entire hard disk.
Increases Security
Encryption is one of the fundamental tools to protection yourself against theft, corruption or compromise of critical data on your computer. But encryption slows your computer down. With disk partitioning software, you can encrypt just those partitions that need protection and let the other parts of your system run unencrypted, and hence faster.

No, I didn't actually time it but recall that resizing an existing partition took much less time with Acronis. I have a copy of PM 8 here somewhere and when time allows, I'll do just that and post back here.

Looks like a great app.
I usually partition my HDs from a DOS boot with FDISK but it takes forever on large drives. I guess I'll take a look at DD.

They have a demo version but it's quite useless as you cannot apply any changes, just get a feel for the program. They should offer a fully functional 15 or 30 day trial rather than a crippled demo. See, I'm not always an Acronis cheerleader!
