So DON'T use this poor Linux distrib: it does NOT work reliably on many PCs, and an antique Linux distrib and missing drivers can be very dangerous for your data, your disk partitions may finally be definitely corrupted if Gparted crashes in the middle. Only when you've done this test to make sure the Linux Live distrib is stable, you can launch Gparted from this Linux live that will allow you to edit/copy/backup/move/resize your partitions. Once you have booted Linux on the USB (you may eventually need to disable Secure boot in your UEFI BIOS settings if your BIOS does not recognize the UEFI bootloader on the USB), Gparted is generally included in the live distrib (you don't need to install Linux on your PC, Linux runs in a RAMdisk), but if need you can use "sudo apt install gparted" (it will install it in the live ramdisk, not on any disk of your PC).įirst make a stability test in this live distrib: open Firefox, visit a media-heavy website like Youtube (launch a video, it should be smooth without lags), or try playing a video that you have added onto your USB key or a DVD, or open a command to launch a "Prime test" or similar benchmark/test tools: your PC should not hang or crash. Then use the "RUFUS" freeware to create a bootable USB from this ISO (note: RUFUS includes a builtin support to download and install Linux on your USB key) Instead of using this, download a modern ISO distrib built after mid-2019 (so that they support the microcode updates from Intel and AMD after the Spectre/Meltdown issue), and a Linux kernel version 4 at least.
Gparted itself is an excellent product but separately from this Linux distrib.
wifi, graphics drivers needed to boot and render the needed X11 environment, missing microcode updates for modern CPUs or GPUs, required by the kernel provided that will block some common ranges AMD and Intel processors without the microcodes!). Notably this ISO is not secure bootable, does not support many hardware devices on the motherboard (e.g. Actually this is NOT Gparted itself, but an ISO image for an extremely poor and antique Linux distribution, that has many problems.
