    Yes, Parted Magic is a Linux distribution, but "GParted Live" is also available as a Linux distribution not just as an application. Though Parted Magic has gigabytes worth of tools, but GParted Live is 366MB focusing on the partition manager.

    Like Parted Magic, this is a Linux distribution packed with utilities. Some the same or similar. Critically missing, however, is Clonezilla. It includes a similar utility but that utility warns that its NTFS support is weak and not very trustworthy.
