- After installation, launch EaseUS Partition Master from your desktop or Start menu.
2. Understanding the EaseUS Partition Master Interface- The EaseUS Partition Master interface consists of several key components:
-
- Disk Map: Displays your connected hard drives and their partitions.
- Operations List: Shows pending operations that you have configured but not yet applied.
- Task Panel: Contains tools for creating, resizing, moving, and managing partitions.
- Partition Information: Shows details of the selected partition, such as file system, size, and usage.
- The main interface is user-friendly and allows you to perform tasks by simply right-clicking a partition or selecting tools from the task panel.
3. Create a New Partition- If you have unallocated space on your disk, you can create a new partition.
- To create a new partition:
-
- Right-click the unallocated space in the disk map.
- Select "Create" from the context menu.
- Set the partition label (e.g., "Data"), file system (e.g., NTFS, FAT32, EXT3, EXT4), and size.
- Click "OK" to confirm.
- The new partition will be created, but the changes won’t be applied until you click the "Execute 1 Operation" button in the top-left corner.
- Click "Apply" to finalize the operation.
4. Resize or Move a Partition- You can resize or move partitions to adjust the amount of space allocated to them.
- To resize a partition:
-
- Right-click the partition you want to resize and select "Resize/Move".
- In the pop-up window, drag the edges of the partition to shrink or extend it, or manually enter the size.
- Click "OK" to confirm the new partition size.
- You can also move a partition by dragging the entire partition to a new location within the disk’s unallocated space.
- After making your adjustments, click "Apply" to execute the changes.
5. Merge Two Partitions- EaseUS Partition Master allows you to merge two adjacent partitions into one.
- To merge partitions:
-
- Right-click the partition you want to merge and select "Merge".
- Select the adjacent partition you want to merge it with and click "OK".
- The partitions will be merged into one, and the data from both partitions will be combined.
- Click "Apply" to complete the merge operation.
6. Convert MBR to GPT Disk- EaseUS Partition Master allows you to convert a disk from MBR (Master Boot Record) to GPT (GUID Partition Table) without losing data.
- To convert an MBR disk to GPT:
-
- Right-click the disk you want to convert in the disk map.
- Select "Convert MBR to GPT".
- Click "OK" to confirm the operation.
- Click "Apply" to finalize the conversion.
- Converting to GPT is beneficial if you need more than four primary partitions or are working with a disk larger than 2TB.
7. Convert a Primary Partition to Logical- If you run out of primary partitions on an MBR disk, you can convert a primary partition to a logical partition to create more space for additional partitions.
- To convert a primary partition to a logical partition:
-
- Right-click the partition and select "Convert to Logical".
- This change allows you to create more partitions on your disk, as MBR only supports up to four primary partitions.
- After making the change, click "Apply" to execute the operation.
8. Check and Repair Partition Errors- EaseUS Partition Master includes tools to check for errors in your partitions and repair them.
- To check and repair partition errors:

- Click "OK" to initiate the scan.
- If any errors are found, you will be prompted to repair them. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the repair.
9. Clone a Disk or Partition- Cloning a disk or partition allows you to create a backup or migrate your data to a new hard drive.
- To clone a disk:
-
- Click "Clone" from the task panel on the left.
- Select "Clone Disk" or "Clone Partition", depending on what you want to clone.
- Choose the source disk or partition and the destination disk or partition.
- Click "Next" and follow the prompts to complete the cloning process.
- Cloning is useful for migrating to a larger disk or upgrading from an HDD to an SSD.
10. Wipe a Partition or Disk- If you want to securely erase all data from a partition or disk, EaseUS Partition Master includes a Wipe Disk feature.
- To wipe a partition or disk:
-
- Right-click the partition or disk you want to erase and select "Wipe Data".
- Choose the number of passes (higher numbers mean more secure wiping but take longer).
- Click "OK" and then "Apply" to start the wiping process.
- This action will permanently erase all data on the selected partition or disk, making it impossible to recover.
