About Parted Magic

The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Clonezilla, Partimage, TestDisk, Truecrypt, G4L, SuperGrubDisk, ddrescue, etc...) and an excellent set of documentation to benefit the user. An extensive collection of file system 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.

Parted Magic requires at least a i586 processor and 256MB of RAM to operate or 128MB in "Live" mode.

Features

  • Format internal and external hard drives.
  • Move, copy, create, delete, expand & shrink hard drive partitions.

Parted Magic 5.4 PDF Print E-mail

Parted Magic 5.4 updates to alsa-lib-1.0.23, alsa-utils-1.0.23, dhcp-4.2.0, grub-1.98, linux-2.6.35.3.

For some unknown reason keyboard input slowed down in the last release. Updating the kernel seems to have fixed the problem. NTFS file systems not being mounted as read-write while using G4L is fixed. We also moved to AUFS, which improves RAM usage even more.

Parted Magic 5.3 updates to truecrypt-7.0, g4l-34a, busybox-1.17.1, freetype-2.4.2, ntfs-3g-2010.8.8, udev-161, unetbootin-471, linux-2.6.34.5, lxterminal-0.1.8

Some other adjustments have been made to improve memory usage once again thanks to burdi01. We dropped Unionfs in favor of Unionfs-fuse. The main pmagic-5.3.sqfs is now one squashfs instead of the split up method. If anybody was having issues with G4L, give this version a try. Some other minor bugs were fixed.

We are no longer supporting or supplying a USB Zip file. Our official method for booting from USB is Unetbootin. People that know what they are doing shouldn't have any problem extracting the ISO image and executing the syslinux command. Nothing has really changed. Supplying a USB zip was inviting too many people that had no clue how to boot from a USB drive and offering complex documentation was just adding to the confusion.

The GRUB4DOS ISO has also been discontinued because we don't have time to maintain the menu. There is no reason a GRUB4DOS super fan could offer this booting method on their own site. This really should have been maintained by the people at bootland that requested it.
