A comprehensive storage management solution for IT professionals and home users alike.
Disk Partitioning
Take full control of your storage layout with a powerful Partition Editor. Resize, copy, and relocate partitions with precision. Expand or reduce system volumes, allocate space for additional operating systems, and recover data from damaged or lost partition tables.
Disk Cloning
Create exact duplicates of entire disks or individual partitions. Save cloned data as compressed image files or as direct copies to locally attached storage, SSH servers, Samba shares, or NFS mounts. Restore operations enable reliable disaster recovery workflows.
Data Recovery
Retrieve lost or inaccessible files from failing storage devices. Reset or modify Windows account passwords when credentials are unavailable. Parted Magic provides the essential tools to restore access to critical data.
Secure Disk Erasure
Permanently remove sensitive data using industry-standard methods, including multi-pass overwriting, ATA Secure Erase commands, and targeted free-space wiping to ensure compliance with data sanitization requirements.
Performance Benchmarking
Evaluate system and storage performance with a full suite of benchmarking utilities, including Bonnie++, IOzone, Hard Info, System Stability Tester, mprime, and stress.
Supported File Systems
ext2, ext3, ext4, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ReiserFS
Create, grow, shrink, move, copy, check, label, and UUID.
Btrfs
Create, grow, shrink, move, copy, check, and label.
exFAT

System Requirements
64-bit processor with a minimum of 8 GB RAM. Fully compatible with UEFI Secure Boot systems and Intel-based Mac hardware.
Supports SATA, IDE, and SCSI hard disk drives, solid-state drives, USB storage, and flash media. Compatible with sector sizes of 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 bytes, and above.
Full support for MBR (msdos) and GPT partition tables. MiB-aligned or traditional cylinder-boundary layouts. Manage flags including hidden, boot, RAID, and more.
No Installation Required
Parted Magic is a self-contained Linux operating system that boots directly from a USB drive or optical disc. No installation to the host system is necessary, leaving your existing environment completely untouched.
Configure wired and wireless connections through the integrated NetworkManager interface. A bundled Firefox browser provides immediate web access for documentation and resources.
Ready to streamline your disk management workflow?
Boot from USB or disc. No installation. No risk to your existing system.
What is disk partitioning?
Disk partitioning divides a physical storage device into logically independent regions, each capable of hosting its own file system. This enables multi-boot configurations and more efficient storage organization.
What is SSD Secure Erase?
The ATA Secure Erase command instructs an SSD’s firmware to reset all storage cells to their factory-empty state, providing a thorough and controller-level approach to data sanitization.
What is benchmarking?
Benchmarking measures the relative performance of hardware and storage subsystems by executing standardized tests, providing quantifiable metrics for comparison and diagnostics.
