Key Features
- Advanced Disk Partitioning: Resize, copy, and move partitions with ease. Whether you're working with GPT or MBR, Parted Magic handles NTFS, FAT32, EXT4, and HFS+ file systems with professional precision.
- Data Rescue & Recovery: Includes powerful tools like TestDisk and PhotoRec to recover lost partitions and undelete files from damaged or formatted media.
- Secure Disk Erasing: Features the industry-standard "Internal Secure Erase" command for SSDs and HDDs, ensuring that data is permanently unrecoverable—perfect for sanitizing drives before resale.
- Comprehensive Disk Cloning: Save entire disk images or clone one drive directly to another using Clonezilla, supporting both local storage and network-based image deployment.
- Hardware Diagnostics: Built-in GSmartControl and specialized stress-testing utilities allow you to monitor drive health (S.M.A.R.T. data) and verify CPU/RAM stability.
- Zero-Install Environment: Runs entirely from a bootable USB or CD. Because it loads into RAM, the software remains incredibly fast and allows you to remove the boot media once the desktop has loaded.
- Modern File System Support: Fully optimized for 2026 storage standards, including improved handling of Btrfs, ZFS, and APFS (Apple File System) volumes.
- Full 64-Bit Bootable ISO: This 2026.03.20 release is a 3.21 GB self-contained ISO. It supports both UEFI (Secure Boot) and Legacy BIOS systems, providing a universal boot environment for any PC or Server hardware.
