Parted Magic is paid, bootable Linux software for managing storage from USB, optical disc, or PXE. It requires a 64-bit x86 processor and at least 2 GB of RAM, and supports UEFI Secure Boot, legacy BIOS, and Intel-based Mac hardware. Its tools securely erase ATA, NVMe, SAS/SCSI, and eMMC/SD drives, choosing methods according to drive capabilities. Successful erases produce signed PDF destruction certificates, with exportable cryptographically signed evidence packs. The maker says sanitization follows NIST SP 800-88 Revision 2 and technology-specific methods conform to IEEE 2883. VisParted handles MBR and GPT layouts, filesystem operations, partition moves, and conversion between MBR and GPT. Parted Magic Clone copies disks, partitions, and images while keeping the source read-only and creating verification certificates. Workflows can use local, USB, SSH, Samba, and NFS targets, plus multicast deployment with udpcast. PM Report Server receives status and evidence over a local network and can send email, webhook, or ntfy alerts. It is not an installable Windows application.
