BOOTICE is a Flash Drive Partitioning and Boot Sector Manipulation tool created by Pauly. It can be used to Partition and Format a USB Flash Drive from Windows. USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-HDD format options are available, along with the ability to mark a partition active "bootable". BOOTICE can also be used to backup, restore, or modify an MBR or PBR.

BOOTICE supports boot records from Grub4Dos, SysLinux, Plop, Windows NT5/6 and others. Other features include support for disk images, disk filling with random data, BCD editing, partition management, command line options, and more.

BOOTICE enables you to modify, backup and restore the Master Boot Record (MBR) and Partition Boot Record (PBR) for local drives or USB FLash drives. In addition to other advanced uses, BOOTICE can help you repartition and format a USB drive if it has been previously formatted with a non-Windows file system, which usually results in Windows not being able to see all or only a portion of the USB drive (e.g. restoring a USB stick that has been used as Hypervisor key).

Bootice is a simple, yet useful application that allows you to easily manage your drives' partitions and sectors, as well as change partition structure in order to efficiently manage your disk space.
