All About Freeware

Cute Partition Manager 0.9.5 is a free hard disk partition management program for Windows, Linux, and DOS. It downloads quickly (232K) and begins by letting the user create a bootable floppy disk or CD. I had it make a floppy, which didn’t take long.

After rebooting the computer with the disk inserted, a blue and white screen appeared with various statistics and a list of partitions. It provided several options in an easy-to-use format; these included changing the file system types of partitions, creating or removing partitions, and setting the bootable partition.

Although it lacks some features of sophisticated commercial partition managers (like resizing partitions), CPM 0.9.5 can do things that FDISK and DISKPART cannot. For example, I found that it was able to create a small partition in 8MB of leftover space, and delete concurrent partitions - which both of those programs couldn’t do.

Overall, it is a convenient, compact, free program with more features than similar utilities included with the Windows and DOS operating systems. Download Link (file scanned with AVG Free, no viruses found)
