The ISO of the latest version can be completely loaded into RAM and booted from RAM. The SciTE text editor has been added to the package and the Gnome Partition Editor has been updated to the latest version. The Linux kernel has been updated to version 2.6.36. See the official news release for more details.
The software includes a program called Flashrom that you can use for reading from or writing to flash chips. You can download the ISO image for Parted Magic and create a Live CD. You can then boot from this CD and use the tools to examine or modify partitions and file systems. The Parted Magic ISO image can also be written directly to a USB drive.
The challenge of creating a new partition on a hard drive typically arises when the user wants to set up a dual boot or multiple boot system. When purchasing a new PC or notebook computer, the hard disk is usually set up with a single partition that includes the whole disk. So in order to set up a dual boot system, that gives you the option to boot into one of two operating system, you need to reduce the size of the single partition to make space in which other partitions can be created.
Of course there is an increased risk of disk corruption whenever you change partitions. So you'd better back up all your important files on a separate disk or CD. But Parted Magic is designed to make the partitioning tasks easy and help prevent disasters.
