GParted is the Gnome Partition Editor application. It is an industrial-strength package for creating, destroying, resizing, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging).

GParted enables you to easily manage your disk partitions:

• Create partition tables, (e.g., msdos or gpt)
• Create, move, copy, resize, check, label, set new UUID, and delete partitions
• Enable and disable partition flags, (e.g., boot or hidden)
• Align partitions to mebibyte (MiB) or traditional cylinder boundaries
• Attempt data rescue from lost partitions

GParted works with the following storage devices:

• Hard disk drives (e.g., SATA, IDE, and SCSI)
• Flash memory devices, such as USB memory sticks and Solid State Drives (SSD's)
• RAID Devices (hardware RAID, motherboard BIOS RAID, and Linux software RAID)
• All sector sizes (e.g., devices with 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 byte sectors and more)
