There Is Nothing Cute About The Cute Partition Manager »

Last Night, I was trying to modify the C: drive of my home server which has Windows Server 2003.
I wanted to expand the size of my C: drive from 10 Gig’s to 20 Gig’s because I needed to add addtional programs to my server.
The first problem I encounter was that I could not find a freeware that could do the magic of expanding my partion without damaging my files.
After browsing the Internet, I found a freeware named Cute Partition Manager…And, as you can imagine, “There Is Nothing Cute” about this freeware.
In the past, I had been able to modify the partition of my laptop which has Windows XP successfully by using a very easy to use freeware named EMP partition with no problem.
I could not used EMP partition in my server because it was not compatible with my Windows Server 2003 operating system.
So, I downloaded the Cute Partition Manager from download.com and created a bootable cd so I could Edit my C: drive partition.
To make the long story short, Cute Partition Manger, does not give you the option to edit a current partition, in only gives you the option to ADD or REMOVE existing partitions.
Like it’s stated in the Cute Partition Software, this software is for advanced users.
So, if you are no expert at editing partitions jsut like I am, I would suggest you to stay away from Cute Partition and, If you are simply trying to modify a partition on a computer with Windows XP, definetly use EMP partition.
You don’t want to screw up your server like I did.
STAY AWAY FROM CUTE PARTITION MANAGER!
