HDD Partition software

Hello All,
My 3Tb data HDD failed Friday, but got it going again. New 4Tb drive arrived today.
Looking for a partition program that will allow me to create multiple partitions, THEN commit to saving all at once?

Was here earlier, but not sure what ones do that type of operation.
Any suggestion would be great. [tup]
Thanks.

Hi
If you are running windows then you can format and make partitions within windows, and use them just like additional drive.
I have a main drive in the weather station PC and then 2 other drives one is used for storage and one for all the daily backup's that I make automatically

Mattk:
Maybe something like Casper which will quite easily clone a HDD to the same or larger disk size.

Are you looking clone your drive over transferring data?  Or just partition the new drive and copy/paste the data over?

Of just partitioning, I'd recommend Partition Wizard.  They have a free version.  I've used it plenty of times.

I will be going from a 3Tb to a 4Tb drive. I have a Music partition, a Movie_Tv Partition and a Data_Archive partition..
I really need to increase the movie partition(running out of space) and increase the music partition just a bit more.
Data is partition fine.

I've used windows before many times. But I can never get the sizes just the way I wanted to. Accounting for overhead.
You can configure only one partition at a time.
I was wanting to use one that that would, in this case, would configure 3 of 4 partitions, tweak the numbers, then hit enter to commit to all partitions at once. Done.

I just noticed that my link to lifewire.com was deleted :shock: Why? Had a list of partition programs I was referencing to, "10 Best Free Disk Partition Software Tools of 2024". It's a legit web site!

Soooooo....anyways.....I'm looking for a partition tool that will do as I stated.

Thanks for any help, doing this soon today.

To Mods...why delete the link?
