Pros & Cons:

Supports for ext2, ext3, ext4, ntfs, fat16, fat32 and many other file systems. Most reliable overall in my experience, program itself is standard in Linux distribution.
Offline. Partitions need to be unmounted before they are allowed for editing. The Linux environment may be a bit intimidating for first-timers.

Our Review:

GParted is a GNOME partition editor for resizing, creating, deleting, moving or copying partitions on a hard disk. You can also create a partition table and enable or disable partition flags such as boot and hidden.

This partition editor offers support for journalled file system including ext2, ext3 and ext4 commonly used on Linux, the NTFS file system used on Windows, and FAT file system widely used on most computer systems, memory cards and portable devices.
