PartedMagic: An Open Source Alternative for Partition Editing

,----[ Quote ]
| If you want to add space to a drive, store personal data on a separate 
| partition from your operating system, or run multiple operating systems from 
| the same hard drive, then you need a partition editor.  
| 
| Traditionally, this is a field where alternative operating systems have 
| always lead in the available tools. PartitionMagic, the first partition 
| editor, started life as an OS/2 program for users who wanted to dual boot, 
| and GNU Parted brought partition editing to the GNU/Linux command line in 
| 1999. Since then, various interfaces -- most notably, GParted -- have tried 
| to bring GNU Parted's functionality to the desktop.

Parted Magic [Parted Magic 2.1 Released]

,----[ Quote ]
| 2/28/08 - Parted Magic 2.1. This is mostly a bug fix release. The only major 
| improvement is support for ext4 in VisParted and Linux-2.6.24.2. Ext4 file 
| systems are still being detected as ext3 by parted after they are 
| successfully created. If you can help with code to fix this issue, please 
| contact me. Most of the stupid and annoying mistakes in 2.0 have been 
| addressed.
