@cmpm: Many thanks. Downloading it now.
I don't know (yet) how this AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro v5.5 differs from the AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition (FREE) that I used here: AOMEI Backupper FREE + AOMEI Partition Assistant FREE - Mini-Review
 - but that AOMEI software seems to be seriously good stuff.

You can compare all the AOMEI Partition managers - FREE and PAID versions - from here: http://www.disk-part...e-edition.html#c3998

Seems somewhat confusing.
___________________________
EDIT 2013-12-15 0038hrs: After studying the comparisons I can attest to them being quite good and detailed.
The indication is that the special FREE offer of the usually PAID AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional Edition 5.5 is very good, and it has more functionality that the usually FREE AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition 5.2.
I have downloaded and installed Professional Edition, and the install detects and removes the Standard Edition.
The Ts&Cs for the Professional Edition describe the functionality in some detail:

Note:
This app was the only one that would or could? remove the little 300mb partition from a drive when I was trying to get the initial release of Win8 installed.
I tried them all and this one worked
