GParted LiveCD looks really good. Also an interesting read is --

While my tests were relatively simple, GParted can do more. For
instance, it can copy partitions and even entire disks if you have
multiple disks on a system. I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't
offer a way to expand a partition into any free space that occurs
before the partition, but that's fairly minor. I'd also like it if
GParted offered a way to rename partitions -- for example, if you have
sda1, sda2, and sda3 and delete sda2, I don't see any way to rename
sda3 to sda2.

The above review was for version 0.2.4-2. Regardless, its a fantastic
tool that I look forward to using.
