Graphical interfaces
For the command line tool parted there are different graphical interfaces, which partly as direct boot CD (English live CD) are available, such as Parted Magic or SystemRescueCd. The most common are GParted ( Gnome) and QtParted ( KDE).
GParted
The Gnome Partition Editor, shortly called GParted is a GTK interface for libparted.
It uses libparted to detect drives and partition tables and change, while various choice of a filesystem tools provide support for unrecognized default file systems.
GParted is written in C and uses gtkmm as a graphical toolkit.
There is a live CD and a live USB version that will be updated with each new version of GParted. From this CD can be booted and the partitions are processed directly.
Supported File Systems
GParted supports the following operations and file systems, provided that the currently running operating system on the required functions and properties available. This also applies to the direct start system GParted Live.
QtParted
QtParted, based on the Qt library, the KDE counterpart of GParted.
The QtParted developers do not provide official Quick Start CD, but QtParted is included in Knoppix and other direct start Linux distributions. The range of functions is compared with GParted severely limited.
