Pretty useful...
My father got me this after having a good experience with it. He had a booting problem and was able to fix it by booting up with PC 8.0. I build computers and I used it to upgrade a my PC. I had Windows XP (which in my opinion is a dinosaur, get into Linux if you have a chance) in an old 20Gb hard drive. I was able to transfer (using the Copy Commander on PC 9.0) the OS and program files to a SATA 160Gb HD easily. It is also useful to partition new HDs before adding them to your system.

Worked like a charm
I wanted to establish partitions for my new laptop to separate my OS, programs, files, etc. I wanted to do this not only to organize my hard drive, but also because my old laptop had a C:\, E:\ & F:\ I had to have the same configuration in order to migrate applications using PC Mover. The product allowed me to do this easily. The interface is very easy to understand and if I should want to dynamically change partition sizes or create a partition in the future I am confident I can do this without any problems.

Good software and good service
I've had several versions of Partition Commander, and have twice had to email for help, and my experiences differ from several expressed on this site. I have not used the multiple OS BOOT tools, and I have not used Recovery Commander, so you need to look elsewhere for reports on those.
What I have used extensively are the tools for splitting disks into several partitions, changing filing systems from FAT to NTFS, resizing partitions, changing cluster sizes, moving data onto new disks and recovering data from disks that have crashed. I am currently using PC9, and it does all that the manual says it will do. It may be that those who have had bad experiences with this have not read the manual before diving in. Any tool that reads and writes directly to the surface of the disk can be dangerous.
My experience has been uniformly positive. The most recent correspondence with technical support came when the power failed while I was enlarging a partition, and the machine would not boot when it came on again. Technical support were prompt and patient with email advice. Although the correspondence stretched over several days because I was working in a very different time zone, I do not think that any of their responses took more then 3-4 working hours. They first got me back into Windows, had me run a diagnostic programme, then had me change values directly on the disk. Despite having had the power go off mid operation, I suddenly had an entire partition reappear, complete with 11,328 files in 800+ folders. Any software that can recover this way meets with my complete approval!

DON'T USE THIS!!!
Installed it on my Windows XP machine. It had a NTFS partition as a linked volume. HAD, it's gone now because the bootsector is corrupt. Sofar for the data... :-( I'd rather have a virus...

This program can ruin your computer
I bought a copy of Partition Commander 9, and installed it on my hard drive.
The system locked up when trying to run the program.
It also screwed up the boot up on startup.
Do the following things if you try this software:
Backup your disk.
Be sure you have a current recovery disc.
You will be in big trouble if you do not.
