I love the simplicity of GParted Live, but it didn't load on a machine that I was trying to re-partition.
I don't know why and I didn't investigate further. (I went with SystemRescue and its version of GParted to deal with that stubborn computer.)
Otherwise, it has worked fine in many situations and for many years. It's quick and easy, once you figure out which disk and partition you need to format or to resize, it's easy. I appreciate all of the disk formats that it's capable of writing (ext4, ntfs, exfat, etc.): it's a useful tool for preparing and modifying Linux or Windows machines (probably BSD as well, but haven't tried that) and the live ISO makes it easier.
It's as easy or as complicated as you want to make it to be, if it boots correctly.
It does load from Ventoy, so that's a plus. Add it to your toolbox and you can partition to your heart's desires.

I have used GPartEd in the past on many hard drives and SSDs. I find it a bit awkward
at times due to the interface which is more like XP than the KDE I have been using.
In the past I have used a commercial Linux product which is very similar but the results
in either case are completely satisfactory. It has kept up with the times as far as EFI
and still accommodates the use of the BIOS. I tried to buy a copy of the commercial
product to safely re-partition the Windows Disk or SSD found in many computers but I
have problems with my account being unable for some reason to give me the link.

I deleted Win 11 off my laptop by accident using Rufus. So i used this program to set things up to dual boot 2 Linux OS's. Nice GUI and pretty easy to use for someone new to Linux like me. Only reason i gave it a 9 is was cause i could not adjust screen brightness while using it. Now i have Fedora 36 and Parrot 5.1 Sec. Ed. on my laptop and they both work great and both i found info. about on your website. I keep this program on my 4GB USB stick just in case...lol. P.S you guys have a great informative website, keep up the good work, ty.

According to the website, "GParted is a free partition manager that enables you to resize, copy, and move partitions without data loss."
This is an excellent tool for formatting and partioning drives. I was stuck. I had an SD card that needed to be reformatted, but it had to be EXFAT. Guess what? The disk manager program in Zorin couldn't do that. Instead of going through a bunch of complicated procedures to make my installed OSes capable, I simply downloaded this as an ISO, flashed it to a pendrive, and booted and ran it from that. It's a very useful tool for working with HDDs, SSDs, pendrives, SD cards, etc. It lets you work in a very simple GUI that is mostly devoted to running the Gparted program.
I highly recommend it to LInux, Windows and Mac pc users.

very usefull, special purpose distro, gpg signed, amd64, i686, i686-pae, recent kernel, gpt, squashfs
of course you can use any live distro
gparted may be included or installable
which is or is not the most recent version
this is perfectly explained on the project home page
(use apt, yum, urpmi, zypper)
i use it as thumb drive manipulating the harddrive
if there is enough RAM i run it that way
(U)EFI might prevent booting
iso works in QEMU (i allways check before burning)
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -enable-kvm -hda gparted-live-1.3.1-1-amd64.iso -boot c
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -enable-kvm -hda img.qcow2 -cdrom gparted-live-1.3.1-1-amd64.iso -boot d
contains memtest86+ (5.01), NetSurf 3.10
((usual disclaimer: risk of data loss, dont surf and format))

I booted this up from USB just to re-partition a USB disk. I found the default boot was very quick. I could then do my re-partition very easily. I think this is a great quick utility for pesky re-partitions of various USB installs that partition up a USB drive. I'd much rather use this than the windows command line option.
A great tool that guarantees you'll not make an oops on a higher level system.

I tried this out and it wouldn't boot.
I briefly considered trying to solve the problem, but then I realized that most other live distributions have gparted preinstalled anyway.
Pointless.
