ABOUT PARTITION LOGIC

Partition Logic is a free hard disk partitioning and data management tool.  It can create, delete, format, and move partitions and modify their attributes.  It can copy entire hard disks from one to another.

Partition Logic is free software, available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.  It is based on the Visopsys operating system.  It boots from a CD or floppy disk and runs as a standalone system, independent of your regular operating system.

Partition Logic is intended to become a free alternative to such commercial programs as Partition Magic, Drive Image, and Norton Ghost.
 

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Partition logic supports most of the basic PC hardware without any additional work or configuration.  It has very modest (by today's standards) requirements:

• Pentium-class x86 processor
• 32 megabytes RAM memory (16 megabytes in text mode)
• IDE (ATA) hard disks for partitioning.
• IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, if booting from the CD version.
• Standard PC floppy disk, if booting from the floppy disk version.
• For graphics mode, a VESA 2-compatible graphics card with linear framebuffer support.
• PS/2-style mouse, in graphics mode
   

LIMITATIONS

Partition logic does not currently support the following:

• Partitioning of SCSI hard disks
• Non MS-DOS/MBR-style partition tables (i.e. Sun, BSD, EFI/GPT)
• Formatting non-FAT filesystems.
• Filesystem resizing.
• Serial mice, in graphics mode
• USB keyboards and mice
• Keyboard layouts other than UK English and US English

*Note that some of these limitations will be addressed in the upcoming releases.
