Partition manager for use with Windows 7

Can anyone recommend a disk and partition manager for use with Windows 7?

When I installed Windows 7 RC it would only let me create 3 partitions. I need a flexible partition manager that will allow me to create multiple partitions and to adjust them 'on the fly'.

I have been using Partition Magic 8 for some years. Unfortunately, since being bought out by Symantec(?) this program is no longer being updated. Is anyone using it without problems on Windows 7?

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Geoff

 

Paragon Partition Manager. Not free. Probably yhere are quite a few free programs, but I have a licence for Paragon so I do not bother looking for anything else.

 

Easeus partition manager. Works well but takes a while to resize partitions. Free too.

 

download this http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hdm-professional/download.html

the small linux distros that are specialized for disk partition work have all been updated to work with the updated NTFS that lives inside on Win7/server 2008.

The upside of using one of these tools is that you are making your low-level disk changes with the OS stopped. Much safer no matter what msft tells you.
