GParted Overview
GParted is an Open Source partition editor distributed as a bootable Linux live image. This page now links directly to the official GParted Live 1.8.1-3 amd64 ISO from SourceForge, so the rescue image can be downloaded once and written to USB media. GParted is used to create, resize, move, copy, check, label, and delete disk partitions across common file systems. It is especially useful for repair work, disk preparation, dual-boot setup, and recovering machines that need partition changes outside the installed operating system. The ISO is not a normal desktop installer; it is a bootable offline environment that runs GParted from USB or optical media. To use offline: download the GParted Live ISO, write it to a USB drive with an image-writing tool, boot the target machine from that media, and edit partitions carefully after backing up data. The GParted offline installer is a standalone setup file for Linux, so the full setup runs on field-service laptops and IT toolkit USB drives without needing an internet connection during install.
