Merging Partitions
The Merge Partitions Wizard enables to consolidate the disk space, which originally belongs to two adjacent partitions,
into a single, larger partition. The order, in which two partitions have been chosen, is important since all contents of the
second selected partition will be placed in a folder on the resulted joined partition.
The program provides the ability to merge only NTFS, FAT16 or FAT32 partitions.
