Parted Magic is a Linux LiveCD/USB/PXE with its elemental purpose being to partition hard drives.

Optimized at approximately 40MB, the Parted Magic OS employs core programs of VisParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Partition Image, TestDisk, fdisk, sfdisk, dd, ddrescue, etc.) and an excellent set of documentation to benefit the user. An extensive collection of fileystem tools are also included, as Parted Magic supports the following: ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, reiser4, and xfs.

Changelog:
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.
