System requirements Īs of version 11.11.11, Parted Magic supports x86-64 processors natively ( 32-bit x86 processors were previously supported), and requires a computer with at least a 64-bit Intel-compatible processor and 2GB of RAM. The software distribution includes networking support, and comes with the Firefox web browser. Parted Magic supports reading and writing to a variety of modern file systems, including ext3, ext4, FAT, exFAT, and NTFS, and as such is able to access disk drives formatted for use under Microsoft Windows and Linux systems. Īlthough originally designed for mechanical hard disk drives, Parted Magic is suitable for use also with solid state drives and can perform an ATA Secure Erase (a method that is built into the hard drive controller to return the drive into its factory state). The program is directly bootable from a CD, USB flash drive, or through a network using PXE on PC hardware, and does not require installation, or the presence of an installed operating system.
The distribution's nomenclature is derived from the names of the GNU Parted and PartitionMagic software packages. It is sold as a Linux-based bootable disk. Parted Magic is a commercial Linux distribution based on Slackware that comes with disk partitioning and data recovery tools.
