My favorite has always been EaseUS Partition Master Free, but GUID is
not listed on their site.

Neither does Partition Wizard.

An ISO of the PartEd Magic boot disk is only $11.
https://partedmagic.com/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parted_Magic

GUID filesystem is not in the list of supported filesystems. :-(

Yes, GUID is listed. You are using an incomplete name of the partition
table format. It's GUID Partition Table, or GPT. So look for partition
managers that support GPT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

GPT is listed as supported in:
- PartedMagic ($9)
- Easeus Partition Master (free, personal-use only)
- AOMEI Partition Assistant (free, any use)
- Minitool Partition Wizard (free, personal-use only)
- Active@ Partition Manager (free)
- GParted = Gnome Partition Editor (Linux bootable image), a GUI
frontend to Gnu Parted (free, any use)
- and, of course, Disk Management in Windows (but limited functions).


Thanks for the list, saved for the future.

There is an error of omission on the EaseUS site. GPT is missing from
one page.


https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html
https://www.easeus.com/support/downl...user_guide.pdf

Those mention GPT. Don't know where you looked.

But there seems to be small change in the EaseUS operation. The last
time I used it, you could queue a list of successive operations. I.E.,
I could tell it to first downsize a partition, then create and format
the new unallocated space into a new partition and format it, then tell
EaseUS to apply the changes. This time, I had to do it one step at a time.


Don't have it installed to check but my recollection was that you
selected an operation, the next one, and so on to compile a list of
actions but nothing got committed until you told it to go (click Apply).


And that's my recollection too. But, after resizing a partition,
leaving unallocated space, I could not select the unallocated space to
create a new partition.

After applying the resizing option, then I could select the unallocated
space and create a new partition.

The actions (operations) that you selected are pending, not executed
immediately and one at a time. That way you could undo an operation
before you committed after which you might not be able to undo. As I
recall, its Undo removes the last action currently in its to-do list;
i.e., you cannot delete an action somewhere in the middle of the list
probably because they check dependencies of each action.

They are currently at version 12.5. I found images of versions 11.0 and
9.1.1, and those also had the Apply button.

From the currently available online manual, you still pick a series of
operations that remain pending (so you can undo) until you click the
Apply button. The Apply button is the commit action. Until you click
that, nothing happens. You just see a list of pending operations you
chose.


Maybe the manual is awaiting updating.

Suggestions?


GParted?

That was going to be my next stop. I've got a recent copy of it on a CD
around here, somewhere.
