PLEASANTON, Calif. - August 29, 2006 - Avanquest Software, a leading developer
and publisher of business and consumer software for the global PC market,
today announced the release of Partition Commander 10, a feature-rich upgrade
to its award-winning hard disk partitioning and maintenance utility. Partition
Commander 10 features a new look and feel to give PC users of all skill levels
the power to separate, protect and organize their data and system files while
optimizing PC performance.
Disk Partitioning is a powerful solution that improves data security, enhances
system performance, provides better file organization and supports multiple
operating systems. With the addition of several helpful "wizards," Partition
Commander 10 automates this complex process, allowing even the most novice PC
users to take advantage of increased productivity and hard disk reliability.
By offering a safer, more secure method for segregating program files, personal
data, media files and backup files into individual partitions, Partition
Commander 10 serves as an ideal tool for coping with difficulties frequently
associated with operating system upgrades. With partitioning, users installing
a new operating system (OS), such as Microsoft Windows Vista or Linux, can
maintain their original configuration while continuing to make needed
adjustments to the new system. Partitioning also ensures that in the event a
virus or crash were to delete the OS, the partition containing data files would
remain intact.
Offering the ability to handle today’s large 500 GB+ drives as well as
supporting external, USB and FireWire drives, Partition Commander 10 provides
an "insurance policy" against an array of system threats. The software includes
built-in safety technology to protect against system failures by resuming
partition operations after power failure. In addition, BootFixer restores boot
records in PCs that can no longer initialize an operating system. Lost or
accidentally deleted partitions are easily restored with the partition recovery
tool. Slow hard-drive performance also can be dramatically improved with
Partition Commander’s built-in disk defragmenter that reorganizes programs and
data.
"Partition Commander 10 provides a new intuitive and enhanced Windows interface
for those who want to maximize the organization of data stored on their PC, while
protecting their computer's operating system," said Frank van Gilluwe, president,
Avanquest Software Utility Products. "Designed for use with computers with large
hard drives, Partition Commander 10's comprehensive hard disk partitioning and
maintenance functions offer users of all skill levels worry-free partitioning tools."
Features new to Version 10 include:
