I use a similar utility called Partition Manager, by Paragon (www.partition-manager.com), it's a German product and I find it very simple and effective. Easy to resize, separate or join partitions. Price tag is very reasonable, somewhere under $100US. David A. Florea, Sys Admin Private Consulting Group Inc.

And it has a hefty $595 price tag. Just an FYI.
