  • “It was a last resort – in future it will be my first call.
    It was reassuring to see the details of the Paragon scan and fix process so that no matter how long it took, I had confidence that it was handling the issue and progressing.
    In fact it did not take more than 15 minutes to find and correct whole blocks of errors and individual file corruptions.”

    Peter Leach, 2022

  • “The application walks users through the steps of creating backups with a wizard. It supports creating backups of the system partition, select disks or partitions, file types, or files and folders. Backups can be stored on external devices, local volumes, network shares, or burned to optical media. The backup tool supports a handful of additional features; you need to enable advanced settings for that, and may change the compression level, backup file size limits, and password protection then.”

    Ghacks, 2017

  • “Year after year, Paragon Hard Disk Manager gets our Editor’s Choice award as the best disk-management utility available, and year after year, the app gets progressively better.”

    PC Magazine

Organized and optimized storage

Next-generation partitioning functionality ensures optimal storage use. Your internal drive running low on available disk space? This dilemma often occurs when you have multiple partitions to accommodate different systems and data types. With Hard Disk Manager, you can resize partitions on the fly to maximize available storage capacity. With newly-added features, you also can undelete and merge partitions, edit and view sectors in the built-in hex editor, convert partitions into primary and logical. Easily perform a surface test to identify bad sectors of the partitions.

Live transfer your systems and data

Want to change an old HDD to a new SSD? With Hard Disk Manager, you simply choose where you want your Windows and clone your disk. Continue working on your system while Windows is being relocated. No manual operations or reboots necessary – just switch over when it’s ready. New Drive Copy functionality creates an exact, uncompressed replica of your system’s hard drive onto another drive.

Paragon Recovery Media Builder

Hard Disk Manager comes with full-fledged Paragon Recovery Media Builder to correct boot problems inflicted by logical errors, hardware malfunctions, or failures. If the system becomes corrupted or compromised — malware or ransomware reasons included — you can quickly restore full operability of system and applications with minimal data loss.

Clean up media

Wipe personal data before disposing of a hard disk. Alternatively, clean unused space only with the possibility to restore a deleted file. You know better than neglecting this simple rule.

Restore any file from backup

Restore data from backups, including an entire hard disk or its partitions, separate files or folders. Protect backups with a password. Import any backup to restore in WinPE.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use your product on the latest Windows 11 22H2?
Of course! Hard Disk Manager is fully compatible with the latest operating system.
What RAID configuration does your product support?
Hard Disk Manager supports all types of software and hardware RAID configuration with only one restriction: Your RAID should already be set up and recognized by your OS as a single disk. For more information, please consult Knowledge Base.
My SATA/RAID controller is not recognized by the WinPE recovery media.
You should have already injected drivers for a controller during the creation of the recovery media, which is a recommended one-time procedure. For more information, please consult Product Manual and Knowledge Base.
Does your product support Microsoft Dynamic Disks?
Full support of this proprietary technology is not yet available from any third-party vendor, as Microsoft has yet to make available the proper documentation. Hard Disks Manager provides limited support for MBR dynamic disks. GPT dynamic disks are NOT supported. For more information, please consult Knowledge Base.
Can I change the layout of BitLocker-encrypted volumes?
No, Hard Disk Manager doesn’t allow changing the layout for this volume type. However, you can back up, restore, copy, and perform additional actions with unlocked BDE volumes. An unlocked BDE volume is a volume encrypted with BitLocker, which is open for access (password or recovery key is provided). For more information, please consult Knowledge Base.
Windows asks for activation after copying to another storage device.
Microsoft requires all changes in hardware devices to be tracked by the Windows operating system. As such, Hard Disk Manager is unable to circumvent this requirement.
