As almost any other Easeus product, this GAOTD is an excellent software which does what it claims without any hassle.

However, when compared to the FREE version, the only difference I can see is the ability to resize dynamic disk partitions, since this GAOTD does NOT support the creation of Linux-based and even WinPE-based bootable CD, which is a BIG CONS for me.

So if you don't have dynamic disk partitions in your HD, you can skip this GAOTD and grab the FREE version instead, unless you are eager to upgrade to the WinPE edition at a 20% discount.

But why pay money if you can get a HD partition manager with a bootable CD/DVD and even a bootable USB version for FREE (see below for more details)???

It runs from a CD, so no install required; however, if you wish to, you can also create a bootable Live (Linux-based) USB drive for it, thus without burning any CD, using the excellent freeware "UNetbootin":

As far as I know this is the only FREEWARE providing you with a Bootable CD/DVD & Bootable Version even for 64 bit OS: just burn the ISO file (see link below) onto a CD using any CD/DVD Burner software (ImgBurn for instance)

That being said, it’s worth noticing that WINDOWS already includes its own partition manager, so in theory, for basic HD partitions tasks, there wouldn’t be any need to download any third-party partition manager software like the one offered here today, unless you want to use some of the advanced features provided by tools like this!!

Please read the above very carefully. Especially this line...

Limitations: GOTD version doesn’t include the WinPE Bootable CD, but you can upgrade to the WinPE edition at a 20% discount.

I have version 9.1.1 from an earlier giveaway and it does have this feature included. This "upgrade" is definitely a step backwards. What happened? I hope the publisher will explain. Either way, thank you to the GOTD team for all of the great work you do for us.

I've got a slightly earlier version of this software. It's excellent...does exactly what it promises to do in a user-friendly way. If you're Joe Average User, this program will sit on your system doing nothing most of the time...until you absolutely MUST have it, then it's priceless.

Highly recommended.

You have to uninstall version 9.0.0 (which includes WinPE as well as Linux boot disks) to install this.

This is a slight update to what is an excellent program, only missing out on some of the (minor) features included with the recent AOMEI Partition Assistant (For which there is a cheap lifetime upgrade offer until Feb 28th). And if you miss both, the free version of MiniTool Partition Wizard will cope with most of what you might throw at it.
