Parted Magic is 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.
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 and a cryptographically signed evidence pack your customer can verify offline — no account, no network, no vendor.
Methods
- ATA Secure Erase & Enhanced Secure Erase
- ATA Sanitize (Crypto / Block / Overwrite)
- NVMe Format with Cryptographic Erase
- eMMC Secure Erase & Sanitize
- TCG Opal PSID Revert
- Multi-pass overwrite (configurable patterns)
Partition Manager
Resize, move, create, and copy partitions across both MBR and GPT layouts. VisParted, our own partition editor, reads and writes the partition tables itself rather than driving somebody else’s library — and then re-reads the disk to prove the result matched the plan. In addition, moves are journaled, so an interrupted one resumes instead of leaving you guessing.
Filesystems
- ext2/3/4, NTFS, FAT16/32, exFAT
- Btrfs, XFS, linux-swap
- MBR ↔ GPT conversion in place
- LVM2 volume group management
- LUKS encrypted volumes
- 4Kn and 512-byte sector drives
Disk Cloning
Back up and deploy entire systems with 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
