Here, we take a look at what it offers in brief.**_ + +### GParted: A Free & Open-Source GUI-based Partition Manager + +![][1] + +GParted is undoubtedly one of the [best partition managers for Linux][2] out there. The user interface is very simple and gets the job done. + +In some cases, you end up using [GParted][3] to fix or format your USB drive as well. I had a [USB disk which I couldn’t format in Ubuntu][4] using the “Disks” app – this is where GParted came to the rescue. + +So, it is a quite useful tool with a lot of good features. Let me highlight them for you. + +Warning! + +Playing with disk partitioning is a risky task. Don’t do it unless it’s absolutely necessary. Or else, you might just end up wiping the entire disk. + +### Features of GParted + +You can do a lot of things with GParted, ranging from a simple format task to important partitioning tasks. I’ll highlight the key features with some screenshots to help you know more about it before installing it. + +#### Create partition tables + +You can create a new partition table for your new disks or erase the content of your existing disk to modify the partition table. + +![][5] + +You will be able to select msdos, gpt, atari, and a lot more types of partition tables. + +#### Create, move, label, delete & modify partitions + +You can easily create, label, delete or modify the partitions with a bunch of options available within GParted. + +![][6] + +Of course, you will have to be careful about what you want to do. + +The good thing is that GParted makes sure that you do not directly apply any changes – it queues up your selected operations/tasks and asks for another final confirmation before you hit it. + +The tick mark symbol ✓on the top allows you to confirm the changes and then only your changes take into effect. + +Here’s another screenshot for the options you have available for the partitions: + +![][7] + +#### Attempt data rescue + +Apart from editing partitions, you can also try to [recover your lost data in Linux][8] using the “**Attempt Data Rescue**” feature as shown in the screenshot below. + +![][9] + +It is worth noting that you do not have this feature installed by default – you only see the option visible. So, for the data recovery feature to work, you have to install gpart separately using the following command (on Ubuntu/Debian-based distributions): + +``` +sudo apt install gpart +``` + +In addition to all the key features, it supports a wide range of storage devices and filesystems. You can learn more about it from the [list of features][10] on their official website. + +### Installing GParted on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions + +You might have GParted pre-installed. So, make sure to verify that. If you do not have it installed, you can head into the software center to get it installed. + +In case you want to use the terminal, simply type in the following command: + +``` +sudo apt install gparted +``` + +As I mentioned above, if you want the data recovery option, you should install gpart package in addition to gparted package. + +If you’re using any other Linux distribution, you can either find it in the respective software manager or simply check out the [official download instructions][11]. + +[Download GParted][11] + +**Wrapping Up** + +GParted is a very useful and important tool when it comes to dealing with disk management and partitions. However, you will have to be careful while using it for the obvious reasons. + +Have you tried GParted? Which other partitioning tool you use on Linux?
