CloneDisk is by far one of the best tools for MBR, Partition, Disk, VMWare Disk images vmdk/vmx/vhd, and much more:
-save/restore the MBR or BS,
-delete the layout of the drive, create disk, create a main partition,
-wipe with 0's,
-resize partition (negative growth works but be careful) and volume
-create a raw image file,
-make a vmdk/vmx from a raw image file to boot your cloned disk in vmware,
-turn a physical disk raw image file into a VHD file and the other way around,
-install grub4dos MBR,
-do various operations on the registry around booting,
-copy all files from one logical drive to another,
-format any device to fat16/fat32/ntfs (includig usb pen),
-read faulty devices (with bad sectors for instance),
-backup & restore from devio (imdisk server-end),
-perform speed tests,
-edit the partition table.
You can find it here. But where/who is the developer and how contact him or get updated versions?
