Can I create a dedicated partition for GParted and launch from GRUB? [closed]

I very often adjust partition sizes and move them, so wondered if I could launch GParted from my hard drive. According to this link on the GParted site:

GParted Live on Hard Disk

It appears that I can.

How large of a partition would I have to create? I don't see the file size shown for the live image on the page.

I know I could use a thumb drive or CD, but this would be for convenience as I tend to forget where I put the last thumb drive I used, or not be able to find another one each time I need one...


With grub2, you can use its loopmount command to directly boot ISO anywhere. Issues often are in setting correct drive & partition for grub to find ISO. Even with my sdb drive, sometimes having flash drive plugged in changed drive to hd2, not the hd1 it should be. So then I have to manually edit entries.

I have had ISO in their own partition, in /boot as another folder or just about anywhere.

Lots of details & second link has many examples of ISO booting.

Older example of flash drive with BIOS boot configuration:

Multi-partition multi OS bootable USB

This also works with UEFI, if you boot into grub2 using UEFI to then install in UEFI mode.

Be sure to use the toram boot parameter. The question on unmounting does not seem to work and only using toram does.
