10 years ago, partition programs like PowerQuest Partition Magic were commercial software, and some were quite expensive. Recently companies like Aomei, Minitool have offered free partition manager.

Besides, 10 years ago, most computers had only single disk with xxMB capacity, so partitioning hard drives wasn't widely necessary. As disk space has increased, and operating systems have got more optimized, dividing a disk into partitions has fallen by the wayside.

I would recommend most users should partition their hard drives into at least two partitions - a system partition for Windows installation and the other partition for games, documents, movies, etc. This allows the system to be backed up via imaging software such as Aomei Backupper (excellent and easy software like their partition manager) without including games, movies, downloads, etc, which would be backed up quickly and independently.

So, every user should have a partition manager in their toolbox. My choices are:

For Windows: Aomei Partition Assistant (http://www.disk-partition.com/free-partition-manager.html)
For Linux: Gparted (http://gparted.org)

On first run I got an error "unable to unmount wim file" but giving it a second try it created a perfect iso file.
(I used Rufus to create a bootable usb)
On a windows 7 machine it resized the system partition like magic and it also resized the " Data" partition.
But.... be sure to run CCleaner to get rid of unnecessary files first and check fragmentation,.
Take care.
