Few days back I reviewed MiniTool Power Data Recovery Boot Disk and then came to know that Minitool offers FREEware boot disk to perform loads of operations with disk partitions. Normally during OS installation one gets a few options to create, merge, delete partitions but once the OS is installed, you need to use in-built tools like Windows Disk Management to do some operations on the partitions. There are numerous freeware and paid tools available too with increased functionality. Minitool offers both installer and boot disk version of partition wizard.

Why MiniTool Partition Wizard Bootable CD is better that the installer version
Managing partitions is a serious task and if you become a little careless, severe data loss can happen. When you are running the software within the OS, several other processes can interfere with the software operation and making those operations unsuccessful.
Moreover, with this bootable disk you can manage partitions irrespective of the installed operating system.
