bootable disk management software that runs from a usb stick as a result you can boot any pc and within minutes run a nist 800 88 compliant secure erase manage partitions with visparted and clone entire disks with parted magic clonezilla in addition because parted magic runs entirely in memory the host operating system is never touched download now view pricing compliance nist sp 800 88 r2 boot uefi secure boot interfaces sata nvme emmc usb licensing unlimited drives what parted magic does a disk utility built around three jobs secure erase irreversibly sanitize hard drives ssds nvme and emmc storage to nist sp 800 88 rev 2 purge standards in addition every erase operation generates a signed pdf certificate of destruction because auditors and compliance reports need proof methods

patterns learn more about secure erase partition manager resize move create and copy partitions across both mbr and gpt layouts visparted our ground up partition editor built on libparted 3 6 handles

parted magic clonezilla and ddrescue whether you need compressed images stored locally sent to a network target or pushed to many machines at once over multicast parted magic handles it as a result disaster recovery and fleet deployment run from the same bootable stick targets modes local disk usb ssh samba nfs encrypted images gocryptfs ecryptfs multicast deployment udpcast partclone partimage dd engines forensic recovery with ddrescue testdisk photorec for data rescue learn more about cloning a disk utility built for people who do the work parted magic is the disk management software of choice for it professionals who need reliable repeatable results on real hardware not just the latest consumer laptop disk sanitization for it asset disposal sanitize drives to compliance standards before resale recycling or destruction in addition parted magic generates a certificate of destruction for every drive so each erased disk carries an audit trail disk management for system administrators resize partitions without rebuilding clone workstations for rollout or recover a broken boot loader because parted magic runs from a live environment the target machine does not even need a working os disk recovery and forensics image failing drives with ddrescue then recover deleted partitions with testdisk and afterward carve lost files with photorec all from the same bootable stick disk tools for home users migrate to a bigger ssd shrink a windows partition or wipe a drive before selling the old laptop furthermore because nothing is installed on the host pc the existing setup stays untouched disk utility technical specifications disk utility system requirements a 64 bit x86 processor with at least 2 gb of ram in addition parted magic is fully compatible with uefi secure boot and with intel based mac hardware disk and storage device support parted magic handles sata nvme sas scsi ide usb and emmc storage furthermore it reads sector sizes from 512 bytes through 4096 bytes 4kn and above correctly for example enterprise drives that report 4k sectors through the sysfs layer partition tables parted magic works with both mbr msdos and gpt partition tables in addition you can choose mib aligned or traditional cylinder aligned layouts convert between partition schemes and manage boot and raid flags disk filesystem support full support for ext2 ext3 ext4 xfs btrfs fat16 fat32 and ntfs in addition parted magic shrinks and moves hfs hfs and reiserfs furthermore limited support covers f2fs exfat jfs lvm2 pv nilfs reiser4 ufs zfs and linux swap disk encryption you can unlock luks and bitlocker volumes directly from the desktop in addition parted magic includes gocryptfs and ecryptfs for encrypted image storage and it supports tcg opal psid revert for self encrypting drives how the disk utility boots parted magic boots from a usb flash drive optical disc or pxe network server since it runs fully self contained it never modifies the host system and needs no installation network and remote disk access networkmanager handles wired and wireless connectivity in addition parted magic supports ssh samba nfs ftp sftp and cifs for remote storage and ships firefox for quick access to documentation disk utility desktop environment xfce runs on x11 as root because disk tools need full hardware access in addition parted magic still works on legacy hardware back to pre 2010 intel integrated graphics and inside virtualbox for testing included tools complete disk management software in one boot partition filesystem visparted parted libparted 3 6

seat or per drive fees in other words affordable disk management software that scales with your workload to get started download the iso then write it to a usb stick with rufus or etcher and boot download parted magic frequently asked questions disk utility compliance security is parted magic nist 800 88 compliant yes the current release implements the nist sp 800 88 revision 2 methods including purge class operations such as ata sanitize ata secure erase nvme cryptographic erase emmc secure erase and tcg opal psid revert in addition every erase operation produces a pdf certificate with the appendix c fields required for audit and compliance reporting what is ata secure erase and how does it differ from overwriting ata secure erase is a firmware level command that instructs the drive s own controller to reset every storage cell in contrast to a software overwrite this also clears reserved and reallocated sectors that the operating system cannot address because of this secure erase is the only reliable method for ssds with wear leveled flash furthermore parted magic supports ata sanitize crypto block and overwrite variants along with the equivalent commands for nvme and emmc media will it boot on uefi secure boot systems yes parted magic boots on uefi systems with secure boot enabled in addition it supports legacy bios boot and pxe network boot for technicians imaging many machines at once using the disk utility does the license limit how many drives i can erase or clone no a parted magic license is unlimited for drives disks and machines as a result there are no per drive per seat or per erasure charges in other words parted magic is disk management software priced very differently from enterprise sanitization products that charge per endpoint do i have to install anything on my computer no parted magic is a self contained bootable environment that runs entirely from a usb stick optical disc or pxe server because nothing is written to the host machine the operating system and drives are untouched unless you choose to act on them furthermore this also makes parted magic safe to run on machines that refuse to boot have corrupt filesystems or have been locked out how long has parted magic been around parted magic has been actively developed since 2004 since then the project has also originated gui tools for ata secure erase as a result
