This is the best freeware hard drive patitioning tool around... With this bootable cd you don't need anything else, it is pretty easy to use to create up to 4 partitions per hard drive... It is always a great idea to have a system partition and storeage partitions, this way you don't lose anything if you have to wipe and reload the system drive..
Saves a lot of time and headaches if you set things up from the beginning.

"Not too good."
Good idea. But, this tool is not too good. I've try Parted Magic to create EXT2 partition. But I've got abnormaly with EXT2 partition that I've been created by Parted Magic. I've got error message when copying large file (2 GB or more) on it partition.
If you want to use this tool to create EXT2 partition, you must reformat it manually with mkfs/mksf.ext2 in command line.
And don't use this tool to create primary NTFS partition to use as Windows XP installation. It can't bootable. Maybe it's bug.

"Great! Excellent tool to have."
Parted Magic is an excellent partitioning and repair "Live CD" to have. With this burned to a cd you will never need another hard drive partitioning utility again. This does it all and in a nice easy to understand way. You can also move files from a jacked up partition to a dvd,cd,thumb drive or another hard drive before having to wipe your system. You have to restart your computer to boot into the live cd then you can get to work doing whatever you need to do.
