Can disk utility shift Mac partitions?

I have a PowerPC Mac with Mac OS X 10.4. I tried to create a dual boot disk on my Mac. The total size of my Mac disk is 250 GB. The Mac OSX was installed in 100 GB of space and rest 150 GB was free. I installed Windows 7 with bootcamp and allotted it 80 GB of space on the disk. Everything was well except one thing. I was left with two free spaces, sandwiched with Windows 7 volume. Here is the layout of my hard disk:

1. Mac OS X (10.4) = 100 GB
2. Free Space = 35 GB
3. Windows 7 = 80 GB
4. Free space = 35 GB

I wanted only three partitions on my Mac drive but unfortunately, created four. So, I had to merge the two free spaces and create a new partition of 70 GB.

Unfortunately, the Apple's disk utility doesn't show any option to merge / shift these free spaces to bring them together. So, finally, I had to search for a third party Mac tool to create a new partition from free space.

I found the Stellar partition manager for Mac which can :

1. Create new partition
2. Resize partition
3. Shift Partition
4. Hide / Reveal Mac partition
5. Format partition
6. Delete Mac partition

So, it was very easy with Stellar partition tool to bring the free spaces ( 35 GB each ) together to create a new partition of 70 GB. Now, I have three partition on my drive:

1. Mac OS X (10.4) = 100 GB
2. Windows 7 = 80 GB
3. New Partition = 70 GB

Apart from this I can also hide my partition and stop it being accessed by my daughter as it stores some very important files. Although there are so many other Mac applications to manage partitions in Mac but the features like :

1. Interesting GUI
2. Low price
3. Fast performance
4. Data safety

made me lean towards it. It is to suggest our readers not to believe blindly about any application but first try this application and check if it can serve you to manage your Mac partitions effectively.
