Did this once before and I'm kind of sorry. I can't figure out how to make it work and I've got a machine that I can't really use now. Tech support is virtually non-existent unless you pay $100 per incident. I saw somebody on their free support forum who was having a similar problem but the answer by a Paragon tech was not really understandable.
I'd be very careful with this software unless you really understand disk architecture.
download a free Ubuntu disk. Burn it to a cd (it is an iso image you download) put it in you cd drive, and tell your machine to boot from the cd drive first (bios setting sometimes) Run it live (don't install it). That way it runs from the cd. There is a partition tool in the menu (along with lots of other stuff). You might be able to get your disk back. It is all free.
Paragon gives away / sells cripped versions of their overpriced, complex software at very low prices, then tries to upsell to get the necessary, desirable features. Avoid the tease, and stick with open source or paid software from more reputable dealers.
Does Partion Wizard make disc images? I need that.

When it gets to the Serial Page and I click (Get Free Serial) it says "The wizard was interrupted before Paragon Partition blah blah blah could be completely installed.) Anyone know why this is? Thanks.

Partition Wizard offers a FREE, fully functional version that works great with Win 7 http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html.The reviews on Download.com are mixed. Reviewers mentioned problems with this program wiping out or messing up their main hard disk as well. I might partition my C: disk and install Ubuntu if it were not for problems like this to partition my disk.
This is a far better tool than the Paragon. I did a field test on a old drive that I had already moved the contents to my server. Paragon killed the drive once I could actually get it to do anything. Easeus is my favorite for drive operations.
