Sadly, this version is the last free version. It's gone payware and while $4.99 is a pittance to pay for one release, it still (for me at least) breaks the principle of the thing.
It's still a FIVE STAR collection.

Parted Magic incorporates gobs of tools for disk recovery, health testing and secure erasing. It doesn't even begin to scratch the surface to say there is some kind of tool in here for even the most jaded been-there-done-that IT guy. It's bleeding edge and always being updated on a near daily basis. The author is a real nice guy and deserving of your donations, however small, to keep this invaluable project going (and to make a living/pay bills). Help a guy out and throw him a couple bucks for his hard work. NO ONE makes a suite of tools under one roof this good and for free. NO ONE.

ONE EXAMPLE: Of "Head in Hands"
If you have several External drives attached
& during Boot/Re-Boot, One of them goes RAW..!!
(USE: testdisk) Included..... WINK..!!
This App has everything you should ever need Ref working with Disks.
It'll save you hours searching for fixes should you ever hit
a problem & not have any Recovery/Fix Apps available...
Formatting & Partitioning is a Doddle.
Download it "Eeeeeeeven" if you dont know Jack about,
- Disks (partitions, MBRs, Boot sectors, structure)
- DOS (cmd)
- Boot Disks
- Recovery (flix, mp3, valuable data)
OR .... Think It'll never happen to you
OR .... Only have one drive ... C:\
Be WELL prepared with this very Extensive & Nifty Package.
A lot of Reading/Learning for Noobs. (Do NOT be put off tho)
5* (x10) from this corner.

Hi,
This tool pretty much saved me from redoing my server so I thought I would share the steps I went through in both Resizing and Cloning my partition.
I dunno if you are allowed to link to any guides? If not I'll remove them unless there is an easier way for me to import them over here.

Just wanted to share.
Thanks

Parted Magic is an invaluable tool in the toolbox of any tech who's worth their mettle. As someone who actually donates to the project on a regular basis--because PM helps save systems I work on--it is well worth what many pay-to-use apps cost. Throw money at Patrick because he is very deserving of your support. He keeps the apps and kernel fairly current and is very responsive to requests for bug fixes or app updates.

I regularly use Parted Magic and find it a very useful tool for both cloning and partition editing.
That said, I had some problems with this 2012-06-26 version. Specifically, the mouse locked up* on the default run-from-RAM GUI setup, the RAID setup could not recognize a common Intel ICH10R RAID configuration which gave a 'device not recognized' error message and I'm still investigating a problem with the alternative graphics menu boot.
Also the cloning tool CloneZilla had problems recognizing some (but not all) large NTFS-formatted 1 and 2TB drives and literally aborted the cloning operation. Note: I also had identical problems with CloneZilla in the earlier 2012-04-21 version (this is currently my normal work version).
The two machines where Parted Magic experienced problems were working perfectly but as a double check I performed the same operations under the same conditions using Acronis True Image 2011 and Acronis experienced no problems recognizing the RAID configuration, nor did it have problems cloning the same large (non-RAID) drives that Parted Magic had problems with. (I should mention however that I've previously found Acronis to be slower at cloning than Parted Magic.)
For the time being, I'll revert back to using the earlier 2012-04-21 Parted Magic (as it does not lock up the GUI).
