It's very easy to use, I found a pdf somewhere that described it in few

Sure it won't. You provide plenty of examples...
While reading them I remembered dar & kdar but it seems the latter is no 
more actively mantained. And anyway not a solution for windows users if 
you want to let them to take a bit of care of themselves.

An option is to shrink the old disk to a secondary partition and leave 
it on the same disk, but again having another partition isn't the best 
for end users: it's easier to claim back space without specializer 
tools if everything's is just a folder away.
