Bootice

Bootice is an advanced Windows tool that enables partition management, boot sector backups and restorations, and precise boot configuration customization. Designed for technical users and system administrators, this compact yet powerful app offers features ranging from fixing boot errors to advanced disk and removable drive configuration. Focused on efficiency and versatility, Bootice is an indispensable solution for those seeking maximum control over their storage devices and system boot process.

Advanced boot sector management

Bootice's ability to work directly with the disk's boot sector makes it essential for diagnosing and resolving system startup issues. It allows users to back up and restore the Master Boot Record (MBR) or Partition Boot Record (PBR), ensuring changes can be reversed if problems arise. The tool supports multiple boot configurations, including those for modern operating systems like Windows 10 and 11, as well as older versions. Additionally, it works seamlessly with both MBR and GPT partition tables, providing complete flexibility for various needs and environments.

Partition editing and customization

With Bootice, you can manage partitions at an advanced level. This includes creating, editing, and deleting partitions, as well as marking them as active or inactive as needed. It also offers the ability to initialize disks, converting them to MBR or GPT formats based on user requirements. The tool supports USB drives, making it easy to create custom bootable disks, ideal for technicians and administrators who need to configure installation or recovery media for operating systems.

Disk image handling

A key feature of Bootice is its ability to work with disk images such as VHD or IMG files. Users can mount, edit, or manage these images directly within the tool and convert them to various formats for specific tasks. This functionality allows users to test boot configurations or perform maintenance without directly interacting with hardware, reducing risks and saving time.
