GParted como alternativa Linux a PowerQuest PartitionMagic
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
GParted is a solid replacement for PowerQuest PartitionMagic for anyone who needs to create, delete, resize, move or copy partitions on Linux. It covers the core tasks, works on a wide range of file systems and can be run from a live‑USB when you need to modify the system disk. Users who are comfortable with a graphical GTK interface and occasional command‑line use will find it fully adequate; power users who relied on proprietary backup formats may need an extra step to export data.

GParted does not understand PowerQuest PartitionMagic's proprietary backup or project files. You can still recover data by mounting the affected partitions after using GParted, but there is no direct import/export of PartitionMagic's saved images.

Can GParted resize NTFS partitions without data loss?
Yes, GParted can shrink or expand NTFS partitions, but it is advisable to run a Windows chkdsk first to ensure the file system is clean.
Do I need to uninstall PartitionMagic before using GParted?
No. PartitionMagic is a Windows program; removing it does not affect GParted on Linux.
Is there a way to undo a partition move after I have applied it?
GParted only supports undo within the current session before you click Apply. Once changes are written, you must restore from a backup or recreate the partition.
