You're not mistaken.  There are things you wouldn't get with programs 
like that that are necessary to get Windows to boot - ISTR that there are 
(or perhaps were, I'm no expert on current Windows releases) things that 
need to be in particular places on the disk in order to boot properly 
(relative to the partition, not absolute positions).  That may have 
changed.
