GNU Parted is a free cross-platform partitioning program that can be used with the graphic interfaces GParted and QtParted to edit and check partitions and the file systems they contain .
GNU Parted
GNU Parted consists of the command line program Parted and the library Libparted . At the moment, Parted can only be run under the Linux , GNU Hurd , BeOS and FreeBSD operating systems . The graphic interfaces GParted and QtParted are based on GNU Parted or its libraries.
GNU Parted only processes the raw data within a partition; changes to the system settings may have to be made. In addition, the program can be used, for example, to free up storage space for other operating systems in an existing system by reducing the size of the previously existing partitions. Partitions within a hard disk can also be created, enlarged, reduced, rearranged and copied or moved to other hard disks. All information is given with binary prefixes .
Supported Specifications

The Gnome Partition Editor , or GParted for short , is a GTK + interface for libparted.
It uses libparted to recognize and manipulate drives and partition tables , while various freely selectable file system tools provide support for file systems that are not recognized by default.
GParted is written in C ++ and uses gtkmm as a graphical toolkit.
There is a live CD and a live USB version, which are updated with each new version of GParted. You can boot from this CD and edit the partitions directly.

QtParted, based on the Qt library, is the KDE equivalent of GParted .
The QtParted developers do not offer an official direct start CD, but QtParted is included in Knoppix and other direct start Linux distributions. The range of functions is very limited compared to GParted.
