Partition Magic

Prabhu anna’s friend Senthil wanted to install Ubuntu, GNU/Linux in his laptop. But he had only one partition (ntfs) in it. So we thought of using partition magic to resize that partition and to create new partitions to install Ubuntu. We downloaded and installed Partition Magic. When we tried to resize the partition, it showed the information “Its a demo version”. After that only, we came to know that, that demo version is unfunctional :( Then after some googling, we came to know about gparted LiveCD. Gparted-LiveCD is running Fluxbox, small in size and comes with the programs parted, fdisk, ntfs-3g, partimage and testdisk. gparted-LiveCD can be used to play with partitions.

  1. You could have used your ubuntu installation cd as a live cd and used gparted from it. It has gparted bundled :)

  2. I remember after we downloaded gparted, we cud not find empty cd at home. It was 1 AM then. ha ha ;)
    Happy ubuntu safari !
