About O&O PartitionManager 3
Thank you for deciding to purchase O&O PartitionManager! A hard disk organized into partitions can decisively con-
tribute to rescue data or restore individual partitions including its content, in the case of a system error or a system
crash. The O&O PartitionManager offers you the possibility to subdivide your hard disk into partitions, to move these,
to change their size and much more. What makes it even more unique is the integration of O&O SafeErase, our multiple
award-winning tool for deleting data securely. This is something that comes in very handy when you no longer need a
certain partition and wish to free the space it’s taking up on the disk.
O&O PartitionManager is also a component of O&O BlueCon, our all-around solution when it comes to repairing dam-
aged systems or restoring lost data. You can learn more about it on the Product Pages of our website.
We wish you lots of fun and success working with O&O PartitionManager! We will be very happy to answer all your
questions about this and any other of our products.

Important: there is a risk, in the event a job cannot be run successfully, that data saved on the respective drives
could be partially, or even totally lost. To be on the safe side, we suggest you create an image of the original drives
before using the O&O PartitionManager: a tool like is ideal for this purpose.O&O DiskImage
Tips and important instructions
Important! Create an image of your data! There is a risk, in the event a job cannot be run successfully, that data
saved on the respective drives could be partially, or even totally lost. To be on the safe side, we suggest you create
an image of the original drives before using the O&O PartitionManager: a tool like O&O DiskImage is ideal for this
purpose. Even if you’re not intending to change individual partitions or volumes, you should still create an image of
important data or your entire hard disk, before you begin using O&O PartitionManager.
Note: You must be a member of a local administrator group or possess comparable permissions in order to work
with O&O PartitionManager on a local computer.
Note: Deleting or changing the system partition with O&O PartitionManager is only possible by using the Start CD
under Windows PE.
Important features at a glance
Partitions are used, for example, to separate documents from programs. The division into two partitions has estab-
lished itself: a system partition with all Windows- and software files and one data partition with all personal files, like
photos, videos or Office documents. This makes it easier to image or restore data using data imaging products such as
O&O DiskImage.
NEW: Server Editions that can be used on server operating systems.
About O&O PartitionManager 3
O&O PartitionManager - 2
NEW: Processingof stripe sets on all Windows operating systems. A stripe set saves data alternately in stripes on
selected disks. As this involves simultaneously contacting ever more (at least two) disks, the load will be divided, which
means data can be written and read faster with a stripe set than with a simple or spanned one.
NEW: Processing RAID 5 volumes on Windows Server operating systems. A RAID-5 volume is a mixture of payload and
data redundancy. This makes a RAID-5 volume very fault-tolerant. If you create, for example, a RAID 5 volume using
three dynamic disks of 10GB each, the entire volume will have a capacity of 20 GB. The remaining disk space will be used
for storing backup data (parity).
NEW: Mirror disk and create mirrored volumes (under Windows 7 and Windows Server operating systems). Unlike
stripe sets, identical data will be written onto the disks of a mirrored volume. The data will therefore be “mirrored”
from one disk, e.g., hard disk, to another. This provides you with a “backup copy”, just in case one disk is defective.
Advanced right-click function
The advanced entries enable an even better overview an much more comfortable hard disk management. You can, for
example, open partitions/volumes directly by right-clicking them and by now convert logical drives and primary par-
titions. The properties entry shows all disk details in one overview.
Support of all disk types
As a basis for providing professional disk management, O&O PartitionManager supports a wide range of disks.
Besides recognizing basic disks support is also given to dynamic disks, as well as removable storage media, such as
USB sticks and memory cards. This enables you to create various disk types and convert them to one disk type or
another. For example, you can convert a basic disk into a dynamic disk and there create a spanned volume.
Modify the system partition through the Start CD
The usual disk management programs often only offer a limited possibility to change the system partition. Usually, you
will need to restart the computer and work in the native mode, where you not have the possibility to change anything.
The Start CD of the O&O PartitionManagers is based on Windows PE. You will be able to easily and comfortably
shrink, extend or move the system partition, depending on the data volume and file system.
Change the size of a partition
Depending on the size and data allocation, it's possible to change the size of a partition. You can, for instance, divide a
large partition into several smaller ones, or bundle up several small partitions to a large one.
Delete data securely
If you delete data, it will become invisible to your "system". Your data, however, is still present on your hard disk. You
have to be very careful when giving away or selling your computer. Data spies can easily reconstruct you private and
business data using standard data recovery software such as O&ODiskRecovery. To make sure your data is per-
manently deleted, use the integrated deletion feature, O&O SafeErase. The data you delete can never be restored: not
even with special data recovery software.

Getting started
The following chapters will give you a broad view of the program functions available on O&O PartitionManager. Many
functions on it have been designed in a way similar to the Windows Disk Manager. Beyond that, however, O&O Par-
titionManager has a number of useful functions that will make it even easier for you to manage your hard disk.
You can start O&O PartitionManager under Start/Programs/O&O Software/O&O PartitionManger. The Online Help
will open, if you click on Help or press .F1
Important! There is a risk, in the event a job cannot be run successfully, that data saved on the respective drives
could be partially, or even totally lost. To be on the safe side, we suggest you create an image of the original drives
before using the O&O PartitionManager: a tool like is ideal for this purpose.O&O DiskImage
Tip: Additional information to the use of individual disk types is available in chapter Terminology.
User Interface of O&O PartitionManager
Getting started
O&O PartitionManager - 11
Terminology
All the different disk types will be explained in the following section.
Drive
In the following text, the term “drive” will be used to depict (single) partitions as well as logical drives in expanded par-
titions and volumes. A drive is a reserved area of the hard disk. Multiple drives can be found on a hard disk.
Drives are used, for example, to separate documents from programs. A division in at least two partitions has become
generally accepted:
lDrive C: for operating systems and programs
lDrive D: for documents, e.g. photos, Office documents, music, etc.
This makes it easier to image or restore data using data imaging products such as O&O DiskImage.
Basic disks
A basic disk is a physical disk, e.g., a hard disk. On a basic disk it is not possible to create dynamical volumes.
Dynamic disks
A dynamic disk is a physical disk, e.g., a hard disk, which is so formatted that it’s also able to support dynamic volumes.
Dynamic volumes can be sprawled over a number of disks.
Dynamic disks from new or unknown hard disk will initially be displayed as unallocated spaces. With the help of O&O
PartitionManager, you can import them so that they will be displayed as dynamic disks.
Note: Certain problems may arise when trying to import disks of various Windows Versions, e.g., W2K and XP. This
is why you should only import disks of the same Windows Version.
MBR and GPT layout
Basic and dynamical disks can be structured according to a MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table)
Layout.
It’s possible to create up to four primary partitions on a basic disk, or three primary partitions and one extended par-
tition.
On a basic disk with a GPT layout it is possible to have up to 128 partitions without the need for an extended partition.
On a dynamical disk with a MBR layout it is possible to create unlimited dynamical volumes.
On a dynamical disk with a GPT layout it is possible to create up to 128 dynamical volumes.
Getting started
O&O PartitionManager - 12
Primary and extended partition
Aprimary partition functions just like a separate disk: it can be used for installing an operating system.
It is possible to create one or several logical drives on an extended partition.
Logical drive
It is possible to subdivide an extended partition into several logical partitions. A logical drive is not a "real" partition,
but an area in an extended partition. A logical drive can only be created on an extended partition. An operation system
can also be installed on a logical drive. To start this, an additional boot partition has to be created as primary partition
on the disk.
Change the size of a drive
You can change the size of a partition, a volume, or a spanned volume. It's also possible to move a partition.
Change the size of a partition
1. To change the size of a drive, right-click the desired drive or in the menu bar on Action/All actions on the start
page of O&O PartitionManager and select Change location and size.
2. Adapt the drive size in the dialogue under Partition size according to the shown minimum and maximum values.
Note: Please bear in mind that you can only extend the partition by the free space available, which lies behind the
drive in the graphical drive display.
Note: We recommend choosing the option Optimize the size to a minimum, before shrinking your drive. Opti-
mizing can take some time, depending on the size of the partition.
Getting started
O&O PartitionManager - 13
Changing partition size
Note: If the job is not successfully run, there is a risk that data saved on the drive will be partially or fully lost. To be
on the safe side, before increasing the size of a drive, create an image of the original drive with O&O DiskImage.
Note: Please bear in mind that shrinking or extending the system partition is only possible from the Start-CD under
Windows PE. For more information consult chapter Change system partitions.
Move a partition
Important! We strongly advise against moving a system partition under Windows Vista. Moving a partition will
result in Windows not automatically starting the next time you start your computer.
Note: Please bear in mind that you can only move the partition by the free space available in the direction you are
moving it to. The free space must be located directly behind the partition, otherwise it is not possible to move it.
1. To move a partition, right-click the partition or in the menu bar under Action/All actions Change location andon
size.
2. Adapt the position of the volume in the disk under Beginning of partition. The higher the value, the more it will
move to the back.
Getting started
O&O PartitionManager - 14
Change the size of a volume
Volumes are located on dynamic disks. There are simple and spanned volumes. A spanned volume needs to be located
on at least two dynamic disks.
lTo extend the size of a volume, right-click the volume and then click Extend volume. All the available disks will
be displayed.
Right-click menu of a volume
Extend simple volume
1. If you only want to extend the volume, just enter the desired size under Disk space in MB.
2. Click Continue in the wizard and set additional settings. The extended volume will then be created.
Extend the volume onto multiple disks
1. If you want to extend a volume onto multiple disks, select the addtional disks you want from the list on the left
and click Add. This will result in the volume being automatically created as a spanned volume in a later process.
Getting started
O&O PartitionManager - 15
2. Now specify the respective size of the volume for each disk. Select the first disk under "Selected" and enter the
size you want the volume to be under Disk space in MB. Then select the second disk and enter the size you want
the volume to be on this disk.
3. Click Continue in the wizard and set additional settings. The spanned volume will then be created on the disks
you have selected.
Shrink volume
1. To shrink a volume, right-click the volume and then click Shrink volume. All the available disks will be displayed.
2. If the volume is located on multiple disks (spanned volume), you can select whether the volume should be shrunk
on all or just one of the disks.
3. Using Add /Remove select the disk or disks you want. By removing a disk from the selection, the volume will not
be shrunk on it.
4. Click Continue in the wizard and set additional settings. The volume will then be shrunk.
Note: Only simple or spanned volumes can be extended or shrunk. RAID, mirrored, and stripe set volumes cannot
be changed.

Getting started
O&O PartitionManager - 16
Optimize the size to a minimum
You can shrink a drive (volume or partition) down to its free disk space and even until the last physical file on the vol-
ume. You can also find free space in between files on some drives (so called "holes") that cannot be used when shrink-
ing. These holes can be closed by optimizing the drive. We therefore recommend optimizing your drive before shrinking
it. As a result, all files will be reorganized and saved back to back (which uses up less space). In other words, your files
will physically be moved forward, and the distance from the last file to the end of the drive will be increased. This will
allow the drive to be shrunk to a minimum. The process of optimization is based on the technology contained in our mul-
tiple award-winning defragmentation program, O&O Defrag.
Important: If shrinking the drive is not successfully run, there is a risk that data saved on the drive will be partially or
fully lost. To be on the safe side, before reducing the size of a drive, create an image of the original drive with O&O
DiskImage.
Note: Please bear in mind that shrinking or extending the system partition is only possible when using the Start CD
under Windows PE. For more information consult chapter Change system partitions.
