DOS-type environment look to it, not as splashy graphix as a result.
But overall a VERY good proggy - Has saved my bacon on countless occasions!!...
Works in DOS, Win 9x; haven't checked it under Win XP.
I wouldn't advise USING it in anything other than pure DOS, though, unless if it be just to gather info on your current partition status & such. Windows can be quite finicky about running partitioning proggies, and you don't wanna get hosed.
Sure, Partition Magic et al have Win executables, but they not infrequently will dump you into DOS to perform their more crucial functions.

step2 get cd and burn iso use a CD burning application to do this

Final Step3: leave cd in drive then set bios to boot from cd before hardisks
or place cd in cd case to carry around ihope that helps i used ranish partition manager but it hasnt been updated in ages
gparted on the other hand gparted is is still being activly programmed and has a very nice GUI

Just tried qparted 0.311 today (latest version).
Haven't "used it", but I just wanted to see if it would launch successfully (it did). See, I'd tried v0.2 a few months back, and it never got around to displaying partition info - it hung on "searching" my HDDs. If you're gonna use it, go with this latest version...
