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.
