Copy partitions is a function where a partition is copied to an area of free space of its own hard disk or another hard disk.

MiniTool Partition Manager released by MT Solution has the function of both copying partitions and copying disks. This software can copy partitions or disks to certain places with certain parameters. Now let's see how it works:

First, select the partition you want to copy. Here we select D: partition on disk 1 with a size of 74.53 GB. Then, right click the mouse and select Copy, of course you can also select Copy from the menus. Next you will see:

Here we can copy partition D: to an unallocated space. We mark the two spaces on the picture. If the button NEXT is active, the partition is able to be copied. Now we would like to select the second free space on the hard disk.

We click the button NEXT and we will see two diagrams showing the source and destination disk & partition. Of course, they will have the same size, but we can also copy the partition with resizing. We are allowed to select the partition type, logical or primary. All these features makes your partition copy easier and safer. You can also copy disks with the same operations.

Compact Disc is called CD for short. It is a kind of optical disk mainly used to store high-quality digital music. Since released in 1982, it has been the standard storage format for commercial recording, appreciated by all music lovers, and ever one of the most widely used storage devices in PC. Owning a Mac computer which is famous for its powerful functions of videos and music entertainment, many users would like to use Mac to listen to the beautiful music stored in CD. However, used frequently or exposed in the environment, CD is prone to damage, thus leading to music data loss in CD. But nobody looks forward to forever disappearance of the beloved music files. Many users want to recover data from CD in Mac, yet the results are always disappointing because it is very difficult to recover data from CD in Mac. Mac is not like Windows operating system which has rather intact supply channels of the third-party software, which makes it nearly impossible to recover data from CD in Mac. Nevertheless, this dilemma is about to end, not because of the emergence of Mac CD recovery software but because of the cancellation of built-in drivers in the newly produced Mac products, which reveals the termination of CD-ROM in Mac to a large extent. 

Seeing the above content, many users can not understand the action of Apple Inc.: why is Mac CD-ROM era to end? Is it due to the difficulty of recovering data from CD in Mac? Obviously it isn't. As data storage can be realized through network and U disk, computer users rely on optical storage devices less and less. Owing to the improvement of the global network speed, we can conveniently and fast download the high-quality music which was stored in CD before to computer disk or U disk through the Internet. This is the main reason why Mac CD-ROM era will be terminated. Then, for the purpose of lightness and thinness, the removal of driver is a good method for keeping fashion and splendor of Mac. No matter which reason leads to the end of Mac CD-ROM, the annoyance of recovering data from CD in Mac has been got rid of. It is easier for us to recover lost data after data loss if we use hard disk to store music files. What we need is just a piece of professional Mac data recovery software.

MiniTool Mac Data Recovery is professional data recovery software released by the famous MiniTool Solution Ltd.and specially designed for Mac. This professional Mac data recovery software is not only in support of common file systems and storage devices in Mac, but also has powerful data recovery functions. Visit its official website http://www.mac-data-recover.com/ to download and install this Mac data recovery software. Then run it and we can see its simple and utility main interface. 

From the main interface of MiniTool Mac Data Recovery, we can see this software has four relatively independent function modules which are aimed at different data loss situations. In order to recover lost music data from Mac, it is suggested to use "Digital Media Recovery" which is earmarked for digital file recovery. And the following picture will be shown. 

In this interface, select the partition where the lost music data were originally stored and click "Full Scan" to scan the partition. The scanning time differs according to partition capacity and files quantity. Please wait patiently and the following picture will appear after the scan is finished. 

In this interface, all digital data (image data, music data and video data) are listed. Check the music data needing to be recovered and click "Save Files". The following picture will be shown. 

In this interface, click "Browse…" and store the recovered music data to a safe location. Then click "OK" to finish recovering lost music data from Mac. 
 
Flash memory can't be too strange for most computer users. It is a kind of nonvolatile storage device that has long usage life and has features of fast speed, no noise, low heat dissipation, etc. At present, common flash memory devices in the market are always small in size, such as U disk, CF card, SM card, SD card, and memory stick. So flash memory is very convenient to carry and is widely used in all kinds of mobile digital devices such as digital camera, PDA, and mobile phone. 

Some users may ask why we don't use flash memory to replace hard disk that is noisy as well as dissipates too much heat now that flash memory is so great. Actually, even though flash memory has many advantages, it still has many deadly shortcomings. For example, it is more expensive than hard disk, so most computer users can't bear the cost. Even though flash memory has developed for a long time, and it does have great improvement in security, data loss is also a rather common problem in flash memory. With wider and wider application of flash memory, how to recover lost data becomes a most important thing for computer users. 

In fact, it isn't difficult to perform flash data recovery. Once you own a powerful and professional data recovery software, you can easily recover lost data in flash memory. The data recovery software should not only be powerful, but also have great compatibility with various flash memory devices. Undeniably, these requirements are too challenging for most software companies. However, MiniTool Solution Ltd. has been researching this field for a long time, and finally developed the powerful and professional data recovery software that is compatible with multiple operating systems and storage devices, including some common flash memory devices. For more detailed information about MiniTool Power Data Recovery, please visit:http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/. 

Since there are too many types of flash memory devices and I can't list all of them, here let me take U disk for example. When we use U disk, data loss caused by mistaken operation is commonly seen. Next, I will show you a presentation of using MiniTool Power Data Recovery to recover accidentally deleted important data in U disk. 
Launch MiniTool Power Data Recovery to enter the simple but user-friendly main interface: 

In the main interface, we can see five functional modules. They are aimed at different data loss situations users might encounter. Here we are to recover accidentally deleted data from U disk, so click on "Undelete Recovery" functional module: 

In this interface, there is a list of all partitions in the computer. Select the one representing U disk, and click "Recover" button: 

In this interface, we can see MiniTool Power Data Recovery has listed all files in U disk. The ones with red crosses are deleted files. Find files you need to recover and click "Save Files" button to recover deleted files to a safe location. So far all work of recovering deleted data from U disk is finished. 
 
If users have learned partitioning basics before partitioning hard disk, you can partition it more reasonably. As for partitioning basics, firstly, hard disk partitions consist of primary partition, extended partition, logical partition. The primary partition contains necessary files and data for booting operating system, and it is mainly used to store operating system. Primary partition occupies little space, and every hard disk must have a primary partition. Apart from the primary partition, other partitions are called extended partitions. But extended partition can't be directly used to store files unless being divided into several logical partitions. Logical partitions are common partitions named with D:, E:, F: and so on. Their sizes are decided according to different types of files stored in them.

When partitioning hard disk, we will encounter partitioning basics-file system, which is in charge of organization and allocation of file storage spaces, file storage, and protection and retrieval of restored file. At present, partition file systems used by Windows operating system mainly include FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS and so on. And almost all operating systems support FAT16. However, such hard disks have low utilization rate, so FAT16 is rarely used. FAT32 uses smaller cluster to solve the situation that FAT16 wastes disk space and limits volume size, greatly improving its disk management ability and breaking through the limitation that file system FAT16 runs single file within 2GB. So FAT32 becomes the most frequently-used partition format, and systems like Windows 98/2000/XP/2003 all support it. In general, users can set partition as FAT32 when partitioning. Although NTFS is quite superior in security and stability, it can't be operated under some operating systems due to its compatibility problem, which also limits its range of application. So when choosing partition file system, we need to consider the operating system and the use of partition, for instance, we generally choose FAT32 which has better compatibility as the file system of the primary system. But to store high definition video files, we can choose NTFS. 

After learning partitioning basics, do you find whether hard disk partition size is unreasonable; the use of partition file system is unsuitable? Now you can resize partition according to the partitioning basics. If you use Disk Management Tool (utility) of Windows operating system when you resize partitions except main partition, you are advised to back up partition data to other partitions, or data in it will get lost. Here, I suggest that you use professional partition magic, which can resize partition without deleting partitions and backing up partition data. MiniTool Partition Wizard is the most outstanding representative with perfect performance among various partition magic. The "Move/Resize Partition" interface is shown below: 

If you want to resize partition, just adjust partition handle length by dragging the black arrow in red box.  
 
Users who have ever had Mac data recovery demands know that there was no Mac data recovery freeware before, and even Mac data recovery software was much little. But it is different now. The famous software development company MiniTool Solution Ltd. has released the Mac data recovery freeware MiniTool Mac Data Recovery which has settled the problem that there was no free Mac data recovery software in the past. 

The above picture is the main window of the Mac data recovery freeware MiniTool Mac Data Recovery. From the picture, we can see MiniTool Mac Data Recovery is composed of four function modules.
1. "Undelete Recovery": It is used to recover lost data caused by accidental deletion.
2. "Damaged Partition Recovery": It can help users fix data loss problems resulting from partition damage or partition formatting.
3. "Lost Partition Recovery": This function module is employed to recover lost data from lost partition.
4. "Digital Media Recovery": This function module is earmarked for media file recovery.

Those above are brief introduction to MiniTool Mac Data Recovery, from which we can see the Mac data recovery freeware is very powerful. In order to make Mac users understand this free Mac data recovery software more intuitively, we will demonstrate how to recover lost data by employing "Damaged Partition Recovery" function module of the Mac data recovery freeware. 

Click the function module "Damaged Partition Recovery" to recover lost data. After we enter the function module, the following picture will be shown. 

In this interface, select the partition where data losses occur and then we have two options. One is to click "Open" to view partition data and look for desired data directly without scanning the partition. The other is to click "Full Scan". After this Mac data recovery freeware finishes scanning the partition, we will do the next operation. Here, we will click "Full Scan" and then we can see the following picture.

In this interface, select the partition which is most similar to the partition where lost data are and then click "Show Files".

This is data recovery interface. After entering this interface, check the data that will be recovered and then click "Save Files" to store the recovered data to a safe location. Until now, we have finished recovering lost data with the Mac data recovery freeware.
