I was using Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 dual boot. And yesterday I was trying to create more space in Ubuntu partition. So, I tried to shrink space from the Windows partition using Windows disk management tool. But, it allowed me to shrink only 8 GB, and I needed more space (30GB). So, I used AOMEI partition assistant to shrink it. It went on a preOS mode and then after booting to Windows again I saw that it the required created 30GB space but formatted my Ubuntu partition too.
Edit
Oops, I found a silly mistake of mine. After shrinking through AOMEI I foolishly converted my EFI system partition from FAT32 to NTFS (using AOMEI). I converted it back again. And now I am able to boot to Windows normally, but not able to boot to Ubuntu, not even using the rEFInd rescue disk. Now, that's probably because of corruption in my linux-swap partition, but I am not sure.
This will display the contents of EFI folder in your EFI System partition. Delete the ubuntu folder from here and also set Windows boot manager to boot Windows itself. To do so type following commands:
Its been 2 hours since i've started this. I wanted to merge 2 partitions from my harddrive so i found this program Aomei Partition Assistant.. so i then merged them and wiped both partitions and also changed some of the label of the harddrives. Theres been no errors atm but its taking quite a long time. To be more exact i will add write down the whole thing written in my screen right now.
I too am a devotee of Macrium Reflect. The free version works very well and I have no problems with the user interface but (I think) the free version does not allow resizing of the partition. For that AOMEI partition assistant (also free) can be used. I've read good things about the Samsung sofware.
AOMEI Partition Assistant is the perfect option for those who want to perform any kind of partition on their hard drive without having to take any risks. This super efficient wizard guides you through the process and automatically performs the most difficult steps.
AOMEI Partition Assistant helps you create new partitions in your computer as well as manage the already existing ones. With just a few clicks, you can divide, move, copy or combine several partitions into one as well as reconfigure their size without having to worry about losing any information in the process.
One of the most interesting features that AOMEI Partition Assistant offers is you the possibility of turning your NTFS partition file system into a FAT32 and their GTP distribution schemes into MBR. You can just as easily move any information saved in your OS to SSD.
Some time back, one of the AOMEI marketing folks contacted me and asked that I review the free edition of theirdisk partition management software, available for Windows users. At first I was a little skeptical. Why wouldanyone need a tool other than GParted to manage their disks? But then, not everyoneis a Linux user.
The setup is very simple. Just follow the wizard. Once this step is complete, you can launch the PartitionAssistant, and it will open into a pretty tidy GUI, with quite a few more options than just basic partitioning.
To see how well the program copes with the challenges of disk management, I hooked in a USB drive, containing abunch of EXT4-formatted partitions, and a small USB thumb drive, formatted with FAT32. You need to reload theview to list the new devices.
Before you do any resize or formatting operations, you can check partitions for integrity and bad sectors. Thiscan be useful if you're not really sure about your storage devices, or just to make sure the expected operationought to complete successfully.
But let's do some real stuff. In my test, I deleted one of the partitions on the external My Passport device,purposefully not the first nor the last, and then created a new one in its place. Partition Assistant supportsLinux filesystems too, but only Ext2/3.
If you explore the left-side bar and its list of options, you will find quite a bit. For instance, PartitionAssistant can clone partitions, a method referred to here as copy, and you can also try to recover deletedpartitions, which can happen if you bungle or damage the partition table. Now, recovery is a very delicate procedure, and I have yet to create the right kind of setup to test it,but the inclusion of this option is welcome, although I doubt many less skilled user would ever try to use it.For that matter, how many people will be interested in partitioning in the first place?
You can do quite a lot with this program. For example, migrate your installed operating system to another disk.You can convert filesystems, wipe hard drives, as well as create abootable CD, in order to manage your disks and partitions offline. The last options allows you to use eitherthe Windows PE setup or the AOMEI's own live environment.
In that case, the free standard version of Partition Assistant is a decent offering. The GUI is simple andclear and friendly, the commands and options are self-explanatory and easy to use. You can always undo youroperations, and you get a handful extra of tools and utilities, which go beyond the simple art of diskpartitioning. All in all, I'm quite pleased with the AOMEI Partition Assistant. I must admit I was expecting itto be yet another program for Windows users, but the quality and the overall packaging are pleasing. Now, Icannot vouch how this program behaves in critical situations and very complex setups, and this requires more,thorough testing, but for everyday use, there's no reason why you should not consider it in your arsenal. Gradewise, 9.0/10. Bye bye.
However, it also offers some handy rescue features, including partition recovery and a boot-CD creator, both of which are operated via simple wizards. Better still, a new Windows to Go Creator lets you slipstream your Windows 8 or 8.1 installation onto a bootable flash drive. Pop that drive into another PC or laptop and presto, there's your Windows environment. (It's not unlike a "live" Linux boot.)
By the way, AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro has an average rating of 4.5 stars from 10 CNET users -- an exceptionally good score for any such utility. If you have even the slightest need for a partition manager, grab this one while it's free.
Disk 2 is source disk 3 is dest. Ignore disk 1. I made disk 3 gpt with aomei but for some reason it still is not flagging disk 3 with efi and msr. Not sure what to do at this point. Tried win 10 installation media startup fix and bootrec tools. Turned off secure boot before clone. Left uefi turned on. See below source is gpt and it appears dest is gpt but does not see efi. Any advice?
Try your drive in the machine now and see if it works. I've found that sometimes cloning the EFI/UEFI areas don't always work and have gotten into the habit of creating them myself and only cloning the OS partition and then using Windows BCDBOOT to write the information back into the UEFI area.
