What do you think of using Power Quest Partition Magic for making new partitions.
I saw that it allowed splitting partitions of FAT32 in about 192 GB for the highest space I could choose.
In fact,I want to know if the partitions which are made by this software are reliable and secure.

Shall I use Fdisk instead of any other applications or not?

Hi,
I think the best, easiest and fastest way to create and format partitions is using a partition manager offered by your hdd company. you can re-partition and format your whole hdd in few secs.

here's the Samsung HDD Manager :

and Samsung Diagnostic Tool :

and forget using FDisk for large hdds,it's a time consuming process (takes about 1-1:30 hour to format large partitions)
