Description: Parted Magic is a ready-made solution for working with hard disk partitions based on a bootable LiveCD. The distribution package includes a full-fledged operating system. The latter, in turn, in addition to managing partitions, can also configure the installed system, work with the Internet, as well as perform any operations with data (deletion, recovery, transfer, etc.).
This is one of the best solutions for partition management in a Linux environment, based on GParted source codes, but has several differences for the better. So it has additional features, such as label management, as well as secure data deletion (more details). Third components are available that allow you to fully work with the file systems of Windows operating systems.
The distribution is based on the Linux kernel, as well as Parted, ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g components. In addition, Busybox is used to manage Unix systems, Dropbear SSH client-server, as well as the Firefox browser. The xorg graphics server supports most modern and not-so-modern graphics cards, which allows you to work on almost any system.
