GNU Parted

GNU Parted is a program for creating, destroying, resizing, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising hard disk usage, copying data between hard disks and disk image.

GNU Parted s web page is at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html and may be downloaded from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/ or one of the mirrors.

Currently, Parted only runs under GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd. If you don t have either of these systems, then a boot disk image is available on all mirrors in the /gnu/parted/bootdisk directory.

=Graphical versions=

GParted and Qtparted are graphical programs using the parted libraries. They are adapted for GTK or Qt two of major toolkits used for Graphical Linux and Hurd installations. They are often included as utilities on many livecd distributions to make partitioning easier.
