C: drive full while D: sits half empty? Macrorit Disk Partition Expert Free resizes and moves partitions, and also creates and formats them. Its controls include undo, redo, and commit, so changes can be organized before they are applied.
Partition resizing and creation
The program works with both MBR and GPT disks. It can extend, shrink, and move system or data partitions, as well as create primary and logical partitions. The undo, redo, and commit controls let you manage the operation sequence before committing changes.
- Format partitions, including converting NTFS to FAT32
- Change a partition between primary and logical status
- Change drive letters, labels, and active status
Filesystem and partition tools
Disk Partition Expert Free includes controls for hiding or unhiding a partition, setting it read-only or writable, and viewing its properties. It can also wipe a partition or free space; wiping is intended to prevent recovery of the erased data.
- Resize FAT and FAT32 partitions
- Format FAT32 drives up to 2 TB
- Explore a partition and check its properties
Surface testing and disk cleanup
A partition surface test scans a selected area for bad sectors and can locate them. Separate wipe and cleanup commands cover partition data and free or unallocated space.
