Boot Manager
BootIt Next Generation supports multi-booting any PC-compatible operating system that adheres to the traditional PC architecture. It supports on-the-fly hiding of partitions and configuration of the MBR by way of special boot items, as well as a direct boot menu to boot any existing bootable partition.
Partition Manager
BootIt Next Generation supports a full line of partition management functions such as creation, deletion, undeletion, non-destructive resizing, and sliding. It contains built-in editors for text files and the Windows Vista BCD. BootIt Next Generation also supports the EMBR Specification which, for one, allows more than four primary partitions to exist on a single hard drive.
Partition Imaging
BootIt Next Generation supports creating and restoring compressed backup images of partitions on the system.
