![]() If you don’t need memory testing, or if you just want an alternative Linux partitioning boot disc, GParted Live is a slightly lighter-weight boot disc that also supports booting from a USB flash drive or an external hard drive. I’d say that I encounter about one memory problem for every three hard drive problems, so it’s nice to have that memory-diagnostic tool around. ![]() Of all the partition utilities I’ve reviewed, Parted Magic (now in version 6) remains my top pick–not only because it has the free Gnome partition tool (GParted), but also because it has Memtest86+. The vast majority of the time, I want something fast and graphical that supports all file systems. ![]() Microsoft’s DiskPart–included for free on each Vista or Windows 7 installation disc–is a perfectly viable tool for manipulating FAT and NTFS partitions, but only if you’re in a command-line kind of mood.
