Why use a Live CD to partition or format drives?
GParted is a full featured program with an easy to use Graphical interface.
CFDISK is a text based program for very old and slow systems that can’t support a GUI.
Both FREE programs can format in many file systems including NTFS.
These Utilities are found on many Live Distros, such as KNOPPIX, UBUNTU, etc.
