Seconded
Or boot Ubuntu from a Live CD or USB stick and get it all (includes Gparted)

The CD that's been on my desk for months sez "GParted Live 0.7.1-5". I boot
it again and look around.

The problem for me is ... "It speaks only Linux-ese".

I look at the gui and ask myself "What happens if I hilite a partition and
click 'Delete'? I.e. does it delete immediatly, or does it que commands up
for eventual selective execution? Answer: I dunno.

So I d-click 'Help' and it tells me "Help is not available. ...". Not
what I needed to see. Then it unexpectedly locks my CD drive.

PW-CD works almost exactly like the Windows version. Sorry to say, on
PC-type systems, Windows is the only OS I am familiar with. I don't
have time to learn "all about Linux": I'm scheduled to die before
that would be practical. :-)

I re-tested my Easeus Part. Master CD: it looks better but there are
lots of "don't do" caveats up front.

So, does anyone know of a Windows-like bootable part. mngr. aside from
PW-CD and the Easeus thingy?

Thx,
