    Does anyone know a Linux equivalent to Partition Magic or Partition Manager?

    Also a decent data recovery tool?

    Gparted is the gnome version but I am pretty sure it will work under KDE as well.

    However, if you are running Mandriva it has the best disk managment tool I have ever seen. It is so easy I am pretty sure my 8yr old cubb can use it....

    Im looking at qtparted now.

    To be honest it seems there is only one partition manager, GNU Parted with a core of libparted, and both QTparted, Gparted etc are GUI front ends for libparted.

    Many Thanks

    I'd make a good guess that the Mandriva partition manager uses the same library, so from a functional point of view they are the same.

    If you are using KDE, the control panel has a partition manager built in. At least from 3.5.1 on. Maybe this is the same one that mandriva uses, only rebranded.
