Partition Manager 10 for Virtual Machines is a special version of our Linux/DOS bootable environment that contains fully functional Partition Manager 10 Professional. It’s optimized to work with virtual disks of any virtualization software vendor – backup/restore virtualized systems, re-partition and clone virtual disks, fix boot problems, optimize performance of NTFS and FAT file systems, etc. If you do care about effective data organization and speed of your virtual disks – this very tool is exactly what you need.
Basic partitioning operations (create, format, delete) for all popular file systems, including Ext4FS and HFS+;
Merge partitions to consolidate the disk space, which originally belongs to two adjacent partitions (NTFS, FAT16/FAT32), into a single, larger partition;
Express resize partitions to increase free space on one partition by up-taking the unused space of an adjacent partition of your hard disk (including partitions of Apple Boot Camp);
Express create partition to create a new partition in the most appropriate place of a virtual disk, format it to NTFS and then make it available in the system with one wizard only;
Convert a file system (FAT16/32, NTFS, Ext2/Ext3) without reformatting;
Change cluster size to control the waste space factor and performance of the files input-output activity;
Manipulate accessibility of partitions by changing the Partition ID value;
Modify serial number for FAT16, FAT32, HPFS or NTFS partitions without re-formatting;
Change primary slots to fix problems resulted from the different approaches of partition enumeration under different operating systems.
Decrease versionof existing NTFS partitions.
Disaster Recovery
Boot Corrector to fix most of the system boot problems that can be a result of a human factor, program error, or a boot virus activity;
Back up separate partitions or entire virtual disks of any virtualization software vendor;
Encryption and password protectionfor backups to guarantee security for your confidential data;
Restore your virtualized system from a backup image in minutes;
Restore with Shrink to restore a backup image to a free block of smaller size taking into account only the amount of actual data of the image;
File Transfer Wizard to replace corrupted data from a previously created image in case of an operating system failure;
Guaranteed un-deletion of any accidentally deleted partition, as long as other partitions have not been created, moved or exceeded the disk space occupied by that partition.
File System Optimization
27 defragmentation strategies available to defragment FAT and NTFS file systems;
MFT defragmentation and shrinking to improve performance of NTFS;
Safe defragmentation to guarantee data loss free defragmentation of any version of NTFS and FAT;
Low free space defragmentation (less than 1% of the free space required) to successfully defragment almost full disks.
Flexibility
Virtual Operations to preview changes before they are applied and chain multiple operations into one job;
Support for Microsoft dynamic disks;
Support for GPT (GUID Partition Table) disks;
Support for Apple Boot Camp configurations;
Support of all the latest hardware, including all SCSI, IDE and SATA RAID controllers, Blu-ray drives, USB 1.x/2.0 and IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices, PC card storages, and many more…
Additional
Network Configurator to establish a network connection under Linux to send/retrieve data to/from a network computer;
Create a script of any set of operations to execute it later in the unattended mode;
Make an exact clone of a separate partition or entire virtual disk to successfully transfer all on-disk information including standard bootstrap code and other system service structures;
View/Edit sectors on virtual disks providing the possibility to directly access and modify sectors, save and restore sectors from specified files, navigate through the system metadata, etc.
