System Rescue CD - GParted, minimal resources to get disk partitioned

It's a good bootable CD open source program, which among other things allows you to create and modify partitions in various formats, including NTFS precious (precious because they are rarely free programs include NTFS). Among the major programs included in the CD, this is GParted, a real free clone of Partition Magic (the graphics are similar), which we use to create and possibly resize our partitions manager.
Remember that what is downloaded is an executable file, but an ISO file (over 100 MB) to be burned (from any burning program, like those included here). This CD will be inserted at the start of the pc to boot from it. If desired, a couple of minutes of work for configuration-you can also install on USB pen drive and boot from that (if the BIOS of your motherboard supports it).

IMPORTANT: linux utility that runs well on any Windows (do not let that scare because it says Windows, it works perfectly), thanks to the fact that you start from DOS. Not quite Acronis Disk Director (before resizing partitions manager where there are important data I would think 100 times), however, is more than adequate for most users.
