Version tested: 3.3.0

Description: GParted Live CD is a powerful full-featured partition management software that can create, resize, check, copy, merge, and destroy partitions, and supports multiple file systems.

This is a really good open source partition management software that is very simple and has a self explanatory interface. It can format and perform operations on a all the major file systems (including FAT32 and NTFS).

How to use this software:

  • GParted Live CD is a bootable CD; you have to download the ISO file and burn it to CD.
  • If your CD burning software does not burn ISOs (or if you’re unsure how to do it) ImgBurn can do it for you.
  • Once you have your CD restart your computer and boot from it. Make sure to set the boot order for your machine to start with the CD drive rather than hard drive.

If you want a partition management program that is (a) very simple to use, (b) extremely powerful, and (c) completely free then GParted Live CD is what you’re looking for.

Compatibility: This software is platform independent and will work with any PC.

    good software!

  7. [...] Creation of an encrypted file: you’ll have to determine how much encrypted storage you want. If, say, you choose to create a 100 meg volume you will have to create a 100 meg file somewhere on you hard drive. The contents of this file will be completely inaccessible when TrueCrypt is not mounting/decrypting it (including file and folder names and structure). Someone snooping around your computer might see that the file is there, but it will look like random data. If you want to make the file hidden from the file system, you can either use TrueCrypt to encrypt an entire partition or put your file on a hidden partition (hiding/unhiding partitions is a simple Windows registry function; a program like TweakUI can do it; to create a partition you can use Gparted).

    what bloody download

  13. gaeckard on February 20th, 2008

    Can’t find the download button for this program. I am greatly disappointed. Sounds like a good free burner.

    Going completely free software is an interesting concept, but learning all new software is not very practical if you already own legal copies of the most used software.

    To All:

    The download info is ALWAYS right above the “Go to the Freewaregenius Homepage for more software reviews…” ‘Black Box’, just before the ‘Comments’ section; “Go to the program page to download the latest version.” on this page, right after “Compatibility…”

    The “GParted Clonezilla” LiveCD is among my ‘Tools’ CDs - Handy, and beats “PartitionMagic”, IMHO!
