It is sandwiched between two posts one discussing the Blood Diamonds of Sierra Leone and the other was "Priscilla's Story" that reported on Opala's discovery of a direct blood descendant of a slave girl who was sold in South Carolina. It really is two accounts of this slave trading post, one from the British perspective on the BBC - their photography was absolutely brilliant, and the other from an American viewpoint that of Joseph Opala. The purpose of this post was meant to contextualize Bunce/Bance Island, Sierra Leone. Partition Assistant is a solid basic partition manager, free for commercial use, with none of the annoying "please upgrade" reminders or hassles that you'll get with some of the competition.Thanks for your comments and your update on Joseph Opala. There's plenty here for a free tool, though, so if your partitioning needs are straightforward then Aomei Partition Assistant Standard is well worth a look. It's short on some of the more advanced functionality that you might expect from the paid competition: you can't undelete a partition, for instance, view drive sectors or carry out low-level operations on a drive's MBR.Īnd if you need preferential technical support then you'll need to upgrade to one of Partition Assistant's commercial builds. The program does still have some limitations, of course. If you see an option listed here, then you'll be able to use it (as long as your drive is suitable, anyway). Just choose a partition and the Partition Operations panel shows you exactly what you can do: simply choose a function to get started.Īnd don't be fooled by the "Standard" tag. This isn't some crippled free product where you'll click an option only to be told, "no, you can't do that unless you upgrade". There's never any confusion, though, as Partition Assistant doesn't hide its features away behind complex menus. But you can then also work with existing partitions, copying them, reallocating free space, merging, splitting, resizing them and more. So you can create a partition, format it, make it active and so on. The program provides all the functionality you'd expect, and some you might not.

Aomei Partition Assistant Standard is an easy-to-use tool to help you set up and manage partitions on your PC's hard drive.
