Description
Parted Magic is disk management software that boots and runs from a USB stick. You can use it to run a NIST 800-88 compliant secure erase, manage partitions with VisParted, and clone entire disks with Parted Magic Clonezilla. It can also boot from an optical disc or a PXE network server.
It runs self-contained and needs no installation. It needs a 64-bit x86 processor with at least 2 GB of RAM. It boots on UEFI systems with Secure Boot enabled, and it also supports legacy BIOS boot.
It is sold under a license that is unlimited for drives, disks and machines, with no per-drive or per-seat charges.
