"GParted" is short for Gnome Partition Editor. This is an industrial-strength package for creating, destroying, resizing, moving, checking, and copying partitions and the filesystems on them; it lets you do just about anything and everything with drive partitions. This is very useful for creating space for new operating systems (such as when you wish to upgrade to Vista, which occupies a great deal of space), to reorganize disk space (such as redistributing it for specific purposes such that one partition may store software, one for music, one for videos, and one for games), to copy data that resides on the hard drive, or to simply mirror one partition with another (disk imaging or cloning).

You can do everything mentioned above without losing the data on the drive.

GParted is available for download from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php; it is freeware, available in three different versions — binary, LiveCD, and LiveUSB, but we suggest you download the LiveCD version, since it is the most versatile — and it can be converted into a Live USB version if required.

You can right-click on a partition and click on Information to get detailed information about the partition or drive in question.

Many of my friends wanted to try Linux on their systems, but they don’t want to mess up with the Redmond giant. If you have some spare hard disk space here is the solution.

Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. It allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way.
No need to burn a CD. Just run the installer, enter a password for the new account, and click "Install", and when you are back, Ubuntu will be ready for you.
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different boot loader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application. It is spyware and malware free, and being open source, anyone can verify that.
It keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

Requirements

• 256 MB memory
• 5 GB hard disk space
• Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista
