- GParted is a free partition editor for graphically managing your disk
- partitions.
-
- GParted is useful for tasks such as: creating space for new operating
- systems, restructuring disk space to separate user and operating system
- data, and copying partitions to enable upgrading to a larger hard disk drive.
-
- Your hard disk drive or USB flash drive can be subdivided into one or more
- partitions. GParted enables you to reorganize your disk partitions while
- preserving the contents of these partitions."
