Unreliable Softwares

Well, since the sturdy Partition Magic 8.0 doesn't work in Windows Vista, I got another software for managing and partitioning hard drives last year. It's called Paragon Partition Manager.

However, it seems less robust than Partition Magic. I've already had failures and fatal errors with it, including some bugs appearing when moving large amount of data (which is required for partitioning drives).

For example, one time, during the "quick data moving" stage, after moving a ton of data, it stopped, render the system unresponsive. Another time, during the same quick data moving stage, it stopped near the end stating "security error" leaving a few MB of files invisible.

Softwares that do these kind of risky job should be stable and robust itself, not introducing failures in critical areas, almost corrupting the hard drive in the process.
