Went on to their website and saw there was a download at CNET clicked on it in the hope they will also be reviews, a dead link!

Found a few reviews on the site at CNET site at the searching:-
http://download.cnet.com/Macrorit-Disk-Partition-Expert-Free/3000-2094_4-75913265.html

Not really enough to give much information so thought I'd go back to the last time it was offered here to look at the reviews.
It was only at version 1 and so improvements would be anticipated.

What was utterly amazing was the quality of the comments then compared with now, it made me realise what a wonderful site this had been. It was in the days when the excellent Ashraf was a regular contributor and before the no button pressing squads idiotic jabbing, happy days.

Ashraf was not impressed with the program and to be honest before I tested it I would have to find some in depth reviews, you don't mess with partitions so I'll give it a miss.

Like other contributors, I am reluctant to test this program on a live partition, but I can say this much:
1. It installed and activated easily on XP sp3;
2. It is a small program (the unwrapped setup including the portable version folder was under 4MB);
3. Perhaps for this reason it loaded very quickly for a program of this type, even on my 2002 vintage computer;
4. It has a pleasant, easy on the eyes, easy to use, interface offering the usual operations found in disk management software.
Overall, I found it very responsive, liked it and will certainly use it when changing hard drives, etc, in future.

I Agree Seb, I miss Ashraf but I think another great contributor back in the day was Giovanna, who always had a hand full of alternative software to offer.

I wish this giveaway came out 24 hours ago because my big attempt to learn how to partition my hard drive last night ended up with me deleting years of information from my backup WD external hard drive.

Hello Macrorit, nice to have you standing by. I'm downloading to my Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bit laptop and it refusing one of your drivers for not being digitally signed. Should I just Disable Driver Signature Verification. Thanks.

Thanks to Macrorit® Co., LTD. and Giveaway Of The Day and as always, thanks to our members who not only give these programs a run for their money but also take the time to tell the rest of us the good, the bad and even the ugly. Salute

Bingo: Lovely idea, 'the Hall of Fame'. They're the contributors who helped make GOTD what it is and, as you say, are much missed.

Sadly, my ol' brain's a bit too tired to summon up the name of the deservedly founding member of the Hall of Fame, but perhaps someone else on here can do so (White Rabbit: can you remember?) He went under the most unlikely posting ID and was the lead GOTD contributor from GOTD's Day 1, long before Ashraf debuted.

Also much missed is XP Man, both for the quality of his posts and as a fantastic reminder that no-one should ever believe what Microsoft says in its attempts to manipulate computer users into feeding its profits flow: XP Man demonstrated time and time again that XP. . . lives. I just hope, he still does, too.

Nowadays, however, all is far from lost, with Oootje doing some really sterling work and, but of course, Mike (who though my namesake is entirely unrelated.) Mike has consistently provided some of the best written and quietly authoritative contributions GOTD has ever seen.

In fact -- speaking as one with a particular interest in video / audio -- Mike is the resource to whom everyone should turn to when impartial, definitive guidance is needed. (Sorry, Mike: don't want to increase your workload!)

Finally. . . kudos to GOTD itself, unique in the way it facilitates honest and, oft times, even hostile comment in regard to the very promotions it happens to be running. Long may this site continue: the first of the giveaway sites and, all these years later, still the best.
