Parted Magic

Purpose

Bootable disk sanitization, partition management, cloning, imaging, diagnostics and selected recovery.

Decision Summary

Potential CSI field utility, but keep Assessment Pending until license, checksum, Secure Boot, Ventoy, hardware coverage and destructive-operation SOP are validated.

Use Cases

Secure erase; disk sanitization; partition resize/move/create; full-disk cloning and imaging; SSD migration; ddrescue-based acquisition.

Field Notes

Destructive operations require written authorization and positive disk identification. Disconnect unrelated drives, verify backups and checksums, retain logs/certificates, and independently verify sanitization.

Hardware Requirements

64-bit x86 CPU, minimum 2 GB RAM, bootable USB/optical/PXE, and separate destination storage sized for images.

Backup Strategy

Create and verify a separate image or file backup before partition or clone work; image failing media first and recover from the copy.

Recovery Strategy

Boot verified media, confirm device identifiers, restore only to the authorized target, then validate partition table, filesystem, boot and data.

Secure Boot Notes

Vendor states current releases support UEFI Secure Boot; CSI must validate the exact purchased ISO on representative hardware.

Version History

Current public version not established on 2026-08-04; record purchased ISO build date, filename and checksum before testing.
