Thanks for today's drive partition manager; the installation process looked simple, with a dual set up and activation module; however, on installing the manager you have to send off a few personal details first to get an activation code before installation can complete.

Not a bad thing in some respects as it will mean you should be able to reinstall the program (at a later date) using the original installation and the activation code you get from Paragon. (provided you back up the installed program). The hassle is worth it imo, as this is a cool package. :)

The Good
* Fairly easy to use - simple on screen wizards to guide you through each task
* Can create, expand, resize, merge, delete, undelete, copy, hide, unhide, rename (label and letter), defrag partitions.
* Supports Windows (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS) and Linux (EXT2, EXT3, ReiserFS) formats for partitions.
* Can copy a whole hard drive to another.
* Has some error checking utilities.
* Allows you to do image backups.
* Can create a recovery/boot disc.
* Not too heavy on computer resources while running respective tasks.
* Handy MBR related tools.

The Bad
* "Install new OS" seems to be a bit unnecessary.
* When formatting a partition, if partition size is small seeing which partition you have selected is difficult.
* Creating image backups is too basic.
* Image backup size estimate is inconsistent and inaccurate.
* If you try to stop the backup, it doesn't stop.
* Annoying sliders when move/resizing partition.
* When expanding/redistributing free space, there is a small bug.
* You can't copy a partition into an existing partition.
* Not particularly impressed by the "launcher".
* "Help" section isn't updated to only reflect features of Paragaon PM 09 SE.
