Gparted Bootable Iso

[Imke]

GPartedLive is a small bootable GNU/Linux distribution for x86based computers.

It enables you to use all the features ofthe latest versions of the GParted application.

GParted Live can be installed on CD, USB, PXE server, and Hard Diskthen run on an x86 machine.

To install GParted Live on CD, download the.iso file and burn it as an image to a CD.

For other installations, please refer to the following documents:

GParted Live on USB

GParted Live on PXE server

GParted Live on Hard Disk

Add packages in GParted Live

Create your own custom GParted Livefrom scratch

See the GPartedLive Manual for instructions on how to use the Live image.

See the GParted Manualfor instructions on how to use the application for partitioningtasks.

See the documentation page for copiesof the GParted Manual in other languages.

For x86-based Apple machines before 2012, e.g., iMac5.1 or iMac11.1, you might need to add "nomodeset enforcing=0 xforcevesa vga=791" in the boot parameters so that GParted live can boot successfully. For more info, please refer to this.

GParted live is based on Debian live, and the default account is "user", with password "live". There is no root password, so if you need root privileges, login as "user", then run "sudo" to get root privileges.

The bootable GParted Live image can also be installed on a USB flash drive.

Following are instructions on how to setup GParted Live on your USB flash drive using either MS Windows or GNU/Linux.

NOTE: These installation methods only work when the USB flash drive is formatted with a FAT file system. Some users have reported that only the FAT16 file system worked for them. For other file systems you might try to use grub or some other boot loader.

Since GParted Live is based on Debian Live and this image is aisohybrid, theGParted Live CDimage can be written directly to a USB flash drive.

NOTE: This method is only bootable with BIOS/MBR (Legacy), not uEFI/GPT.

GParted is a free partition manager that enables you to resize, copy,and move partitions without data loss.

The best way to access all of the featuresof the GParted application is by using the GParted Live bootableimage. GParted Live enables you to use GParted on GNU/Linux as wellas other operating systems, such as Windows or Mac OS X.

This is a quick walkthrough of creating a G-Parted bootable usb drive. All of the listed steps were performed on a system running a 64-bit version Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but they should work the same on any other available distribution.

I am aware that the issue of creating a UEFI-bootable USBs has been covered far and wide. However, from the first round of research I ended up feeling that the information gained is either hyper-specific, super-abundant, too cryptic or a combination of these. For my case, capabilities and circumstances, at least. So I post a question afresh. Thanks for bearing with this.

(optional) create a partition over the rest of the space (or leave a bit space for swap at the end; not sure how import swap is in this place) with ext4 or you preferred file system Label casper-rw (this is the root of you system on a stick)

When you get that message, it means SYSLINUX can't find the configuration file, syslinux.cfg (or it is indeed not written properly - unlikely in your case). For GPartedLive, it is located in /syslinux.

A quick workaround is to copy the contents of /syslinux (everything in it) to the root of your USB drive. SYSLINUX will always look in the root for syslinux.cfg. SYSLINUX 3.86 also seems to have some bugs with its ability to find the configuration file when it is nested inside directories - SYSLINUX 4.0 seems a lot more reliable and resilient.

You could also try replacing SYSLINUX 3.86 with SYSLINUX 4.02; it is a bit tedious and you'll have to do it all again when GParted updates itself unless they upgrade to SYSLINUX 4.x. Leave a comment here and I'll write up some further instructions for doing that if you're interested.

however i must say that MY personal favorite is the "Universal USB Installer".it has never let me down yet and it gets a more specific configuration for the major distributions.... IMHO Unetboot simply guesses what would be done while the universal installer has specific methods built-in.a guide for it is here: -a-persistent-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive/

In my tests and tries I had in the last 6 months, I found that some USB sticks did not work, until I actually deleted all partitions from the device. That was done using GParted or simply fdisk. I think this is related to some partition table that GRUB could not find, or something like that. I found that for a stick that never worked in the past, manually deleting all partitions on the device, rewriting the partition table fixed the problem. I then could install Ubuntu on the device, making sure that GRUB is indeed installed on the right device, and it worked just fine.

I will answer my own question. Since I had a lot of trouble creating Live USBs on Ubuntu and Mac and wanted to dig a bit deeper into the subject and will also list the output of the successful partition schemes.

Download the latest gparted-live-*-amd64.zip file. Replace * with the current version. For example, if the latest version is 1.3.1-1, then you want the gparted-live-1.3.1-1-amd64.zip file. I assume this file will download to your Downloads folder. After the download completes, the zip file will automatically convert to a folder. I my case, this folder was named gparted-live-1.

Make the following changes to the names of the boot files, so the firmware in your Mac will boot directly from GRUB. From a Finder window, open the EFI folder on the flash drive, then open the boot folder. The result should be the folder shown below.

Hello,

So I've reinstalled my OMV after some issues, now my computer runs OMV 4.1.22 and I was going through the setup procedure when GParted started to complain. Error message in picture.

OMV is fresh, I've run 'apt-get update' then 'omv-initsystem' to finish it. I've installed Midnight Commander, hddtemp and Net-Tools.

Have you tried to install gparted on the OMV system? Does not work. You can download the ISO and boot into gparted from omv-extras. But you would only have to do this if you want to resize your OS partition.

You could try one of two different things. I've never used the GParted boot option in OMV-extras, because I've always got a Linux USB laying around... Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint...I've usually got one somewhere.

I guess it depends on how much hassle you want to go through... but usually those power adapters/spliters (assuming it is some type of molex adapter)... are only a a couple bucks at any electronics store. Probably about the same cost as that DVD RW you bought, maybe less.

whenever i try to install gparted via the webui it starts the download and then just freezes (the terminal window displayed on the ui). It never finishes even when left alone for a few hours. I can not find any errors in the syslog. Is there a way to do the same from cli (as in integrate into grub and the webui)?

i see. i remember it working in omv 5 but that was running bare metal. just to be sure: i am talking about the webui setting to install it as a boot option - you could select to boot gparted instead of omv via grub

OK, I got the gparted iso burned a cd so now I have Gparted-live, but how do I get this to boot up? When I restart, hold the c key down it gives a number 1 & a number 2 on a black screen and I can do anything with either number that I type in the blank.

I had to hold down 'C' instead of option; not sure if this is because I had a LaCie drive plugged in (which is what I want to partition) but even though Gparted started in is not able finish scanning the drives.
