Summary: A Great Utility For Multi-OS PC
Review: I usually configure PCs with multi-OS for testing application code. Re-partioning and deinstalling/replacing OS just to meet the requirements of different applications can be a challenging task specially if all is done thru fdisk. I view System Commander 7 as an affordable product that includes both the OS Manager and Partitioning utility. Using this product is easy with the familiar "windows like" environment. The online help is useful and so does its hardcopy manual which explains technical aspects of SC7 and hard disk partitioning primer that even people who are not familiar on PC hardware are able to understand. Despite its user friendliness of the product one may encounter challenging situation during installation of an OS. One must be careful in doing OS upgrades which often after the installation the OS can be unstable due to the existing drivers and applications that may not be compatible with the upgraded OS. Although this is an OS issue it should be worth mentioning in their manuals what the user need to prepare before the upgrade. Also, after resizing partitions >8GB - accessing the OS and partitioning utility may not work sometimes; but this can be resolved thru its backup restart disk. Other than this few stumbling blocks the SC7 works well. And true to its word it works on most combination OS.

Summary: System Commander 7
Review: System Commander 7 is a very powerful product. It does what it says it can do. You should always have the correct version for the operating systems it says it supports. For people who have XP you should have the latest version 7.05. You either love it or you hate it simple as that.

Summary: Get a clue.
Review: This is a good product. I have seen negative reviews concerning this product on this site, but, unfortunately they are written by people who don't know what they're doing. Therefore the reviews are misleading, to say the least.
Referring to the two negative reviews I've seen: 1)If anyone ever decides to partition their hard drive without creating a backup first is asking for BIG trouble - sooner or later.
2)If you are trying to do ANYTHING with Windows 98, you need to wake up and smell the new millenium. GET A CLUE. Your inexperience has nothing to do with the quality of a product.

Summary: Veteran
Review: This is another veteran of PC utilities although this one is not really a necessity unless you need to test other operating systems and only have one PC. It performs as advertised but configuring and installing the other OS's may not be as straighforward and easy for some.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: My Nightmare: Partition Commander
Review: What a nightmare! The installation of the software seemed to go smoothly on my Dell Pentium II with Windows '98 but then disaster hit. The software didn't do anything but mess up every file on my computer.

Even after many calls to tech support the mess couldn't be repaired or salvaged forcing me to have to re-format my whole drive. I lost everything on my computer.

Advice: If you use this program, back up every important file first.
