Version: Parted Magic LiveCD 3
"Terrific - Worked where others failed (v 3.5)"
Pros: Boots when DOS-based repair disks won't, contains huge collection of disk and partition test and repair programs in addition to partitioning programs. Contains TestDisk, an especially useful program, along with Clonezilla.
Cons: Documentation for the programs is sparse, even in the project wiki. The fortunate exception is TestDisk, which has a good walk-through in the wiki.

"Free and worked perfectly on Windows 2003 Server"
Pros: Booting to the CD and resizing my root partition took a mere 5 minutes. It took longerr to burn the CD on my old writer.
Cons: Too bad you have to run it from CD
Summary: Worked perfectly, just had to Scandisk on booting, but after that it was seamless. I'm keeping the CD in my toolkit. read more

"A versatile and useful utility"
Pros: The ability to deal with partitioning and data issues - I suffered a problem on an external hard drive and could not access my data (I could not even access the drive). Parted Magic provided a solution.
Cons: I have not found any downsides.
