| 762068 | 2009-04-05 00:03:00 | Anything messing with my partitions while a GUI is running is gonna get crunched :) Well obviously you don't partition the system drive while you're using it:p Other drives |

| 762069 | 2009-04-05 03:24:00 | "Well obviously you don't partition the system drive while you're using it" So how can you use it to shift a partition on the system drive? Do you have to slave the drive to another system? |

| 762070 | 2009-04-05 03:55:00 | Partition Magic and Easeus do NOT partition active drives while the GUI is running. They store instructions and re-partition the next time the OS is booted. However they can both be used to partition (on the fly) a slaved drived, such as your USB-connected external HDD.. | johcar (6283) | ||

I usually use it when I slave multiple hard drives to the computer to format and partition |

| 762072 | 2009-04-05 05:31:00 | Hell of a lot easier to make a bootable CD, both versions allow this and you do any partition work from that. Easy | wainuitech (129) | ||

I usually use it when I slave multiple hard drives to the computer to format and partition Do you mean that you slave several drives to one computer and partition then format. Normally you partition then format the partition(s). How many hard drives do you do at once? Being as you have to have at least one partition on a physical hard drive before you format. |

| 762074 | 2009-04-05 20:22:00 | Stupid question if I may. Bought a 500 G HD the weekend. Trying to put two more partitions on it, but Easeus don't want to do it or I am too stupid. There are no commands available on Easeus to partition (Create Partition greyed out). Any other program suggested that is easier than this? sarel |

| 762075 | 2009-04-05 21:16:00 | You may have to resize/move a partition on the external HDD (if one already exists), before you will see the option to create a partition... | johcar (6283) | ||

There are no commands available on Easeus to partition (Create Partition greyed out). sarel How exactly have you got the 500GB drive setup - Eg: USB external Drive, main Drive and booting from the bootable CD you can make in Esaeus ?? What you need to do , is start up the software, look in the listings and you will see a gray square - this will be the empty drive. it will be called Unallocated. Click on that and the create button will work, you create one big partition first. I have found its safer to do one step at a time. THEN you can select the drive again, and this time the resize will work, you shrink the original partition down to what size you want - reboot - load the program, select the empty area, create another partition etc--- keep repeating until you have the required amounts. |

| 762077 | 2009-04-06 00:34:00 | I recently had a similar issue to that described by sarel - the Create Partition button was greyed out (this was on a previously formatted/partitioned HDD). By process of elimination I worked out I had to resize the existing partition (to something smaller) before I could create a new partition.... |
