Nothing that ever "came with" an MS OS will do that...
(At least without erasing all your data and OS...)

I like and use the Acronis products. (I am Not connected to company.)

(On sale here:)  ($36.99 + free shipping)

(I use an older version called AcronisPartitionExpert2003.)

Or direct company link:  ($~50 or $60 ~US download)

I install the program and then use it to make a BootCD.
(I do certain things outside the OS...)
