Editor's review of CompuApps SwissKnife V3

3.0 stars

You'd expect a program called SwissKnife to do all sorts of things, but this tiny application does only two: creating and quickly formatting disc partitions that can be read by Mac, Windows, and Linux systems. It can't resize, move, or even delete created partitions, nor can it work with partitions on the boot disc. It can, however, make FAT32 partitions larger than 32MB--something Windows 2000 and XP can't do. For swapping an external drive between platforms, CompuApps SwissKnife is just what you need. Otherwise, you'll probably do just as well with Windows Disk Management.

"Pretty Useless for my XP"

by thegigglerx on April 10, 2006

Pros: nowt...

"Works great in my XP SP2"

by torejorgen on March 8, 2008

Pros: I was looking for a thirdparty program to format my eksternal harddisk to FAT32, since PlayStation 3 only supports FAT32...
Swissknife did the job without any problems or advanced settings/options...

Cons: I have only tested it to format my eksternal drive to FAT32.
I did not notice any cons while using it......
