When you fire up your live cd you will need to open up a terminal window and issue the command gparted to use the tool. And this space needs to have enough unused space on it to accommodate the partition to be copied. You will also need to have an external drive attached with equal or more space than the source partition. With this live CD you can boot up and then run Gparted on the drive in question without any problems. Instead you have to use a live CD with Gparted included, such as SystemRescueCD.
Gparted create boot partition install#
So if that partition is on a working system, and you need that partition mounted for the system to be working, you can not just install Gparted and have at it.
First and foremost the ONLY way you can copy and paste a partition is if that partition is not mounted.
In this article I will walk you through the process of copying a partition from one drive to another with the help of Gparted.īefore you get too involved with this process there are a couple of things you will need to know. It's a bit time consuming but when you want a copy of that partition, sometimes you'll go the extra mile. One nifty trick I discovered it can do is copy partitions from one drive to another.
But Gparted can do much more than just edit partitions. Gparted is an amazingly flexible tool that serves as a graphical partition editor built for the GNOME desktop environment. I wanted to continue with the rescue theme, but since Partimage is limited in it's file system support, I thought I would go another route.
