Product Description
How often have you wished that you could change the partitioning scheme of your hard drive, but not wanted to go through the trouble of completely erasing and reinitializing your hard drive to do so? Now, using DiskStudio, you are able to do this plus much more.
With DiskStudio you can:
- Add new partitions to your hard drive.
- Delete partitions previously created by DiskStudio.
- Erase and reformat existing partitions in a number of standard formats.
- Completely erase and repartition an entire hard disk.
DiskStudio provides the tools you need to control how information is stored on your hard drive. For instance, you might use DiskStudio to repartition your hard drive to:
- Install a new copy of Mac OS X, but keep your original copy intact.
- Install a completely different operating system, such as Mac OSÊ9, on a new partition.
- Create a partition to hold special projects, such as audio or video files.
- Create a partition to hold scratch space for programs such as Adobe Photoshop.
An easy to use and non-destructive disk partitioner has been requested by more of our customers than any other type of utility. DiskStudio fills this important need for MacÊOSÊX. With DiskStudio you will be able to quickly and easily change the way information is stored on your hard drives as your needs change over time. With DiskStudio you are in control.
DiskStudio allows you to create and remove disk partitions on the fly! Want to create a new partition for games or photos? No problem. Want to get rid of that old OS 9 partition without backing up and reformatting your drive? It's easy.

This review is from: Micromat DiskStudio ( Mac) (CD-ROM)
DiskStudio is not quite ready for serious work...
Why you ask? Because there is a good chance DiskStudio will not work as promised and leave you with no option but to reinstall all of your data. I bought this to let me repartition my hard drive and use the second partition to try Linux on my iBook. Following directions, I made two 20GB partitions on the 40GB hard drive on my iBook. Mac OS X worked fine on the Mac partition, and the other half was left blank, ready to install Linux. After I tried Linux on my iBook for a while, I decided to remove it and return my iBook's hard drive to a single 40GB size. That is where DiskStudio falls short. I could not get the application to work properly and return my laptop's hard drive to its original state. I consulted technical support but could not return the hard drive to a single partition. I had to completely wipe the hard drive and reformat to a single partition. I reinstalled Mac OS X and all of my applications and data. Something which would be time-consuming (and/or costly) if I had tried this utility on my primary computer, my G5 PowerMac. Luckily for me, my iBook is my back-up computer and never has any critical data or files. I was disappointed with the results I got from DiskStudio, especially since I have always been very happy with TechToolPro, which is also produced by Micromat. Since the application is new, I am willing to give Micromat the benefit of the doubt and hope they improve thing in a subsequent release. But I would not recommend this product on a primary work computer (with important data). Feel free to try it on a second or a project computer, knowing you might have to wipe the hard drive if you cannot get it to properly work for you. Otherwise look elsewhere for a non-destructive repartitioning utility.
