Camptune for Mac OSX- A Paragon partition manager for Mac partitions

Camptune – Partition manager software from Paragon software. We present here a close review of this Mac partition manager software and a comparison with Stellar partition manager.

Benefits of using a partition manager on Mac drive

1.System and data protection (creating backup) for Apple partitions

2.A user can easily redistribute the free space between Windows and Mac partitions

3.Make Mac ready for multiple partitions to install Windows or other versions of Mac OS.

4.It offers users an effective alternative to Apple Boot Camp.

Drawbacks in Apple Boot Camp which can be fulfilled with third party tools

In Boot Camp, there is no option to redistribute the free free space between Mac OS X and Windows partitions after the Windows installation is complete, so either you’ll have to move with it, or re-install Windows and all applications once again.

This issue can easily be fixed with a third party mac partition manager. The tools like camptune and Stellar Partition manager are great applications for this task.

Remove Windows 7 Bootcamp Partition in Mac Lion | Delete Bootcamp in Mac OS X 10.7

I want to delete bootcamp partition in Mac Lion which I have installed a few days ago. The windows 7 in bootcamp partition of Mac OS X 10.7 is not running and found corrupted. So, the best solution is to delete the partition and reuse the free space for some other partition.

The Mac application to delete bootcamp partition in Mac Lion , which I used , is Stellar Partition manager. Here are the options available for users:

1. Create Mac partition
2. Delete Mac partition
3. Format Mac Partition
4. Hide/ Reveal an existing partition

Steps to delete Windows boot camp partition from Mac disk:

Step 1. Run Stellar Partition manager

The startup window is divided into three panes.

a. Tool bar : It lists all the operations that can be applied on the Mac disk.

b. Left Pane: Heres the list of all the disks attached with your Mac machine.

c. Right Pane: It shows the current status of volumes on the drive , selected in left pane.

Step 2. Select the Windows Partition you want to delete , click “delete” and Start the process.

Note: Its important to note here that if you want to delete a partition on current drive then you must create a bootable DVD and boot your Mac with it. This bootable DVD can be created by this application itself.

How Stellar partition manager is better than Disk utility of Apple?

The easy to understand interface and automatic shifting of free space (free space optimization) are advantages of this partition management tool over Apple disk utility.
