Super FDisk. It only supports FAT32 though.

swissknife is good, but only for slave drives. it doesn't let you mess with your master drive with any OS data on it. designed with the n00b in mind

Well, I would call it "common sense" or "better safe than sorry", if you use it from a BartPE, AS YOU SHOULD, there are no such limits.

Running any partition related program on the drive you booted from is often asking for trouble.

SwissKnife plugin for BARTPE

Download the file that contains 'SwissKnife plug-in for BART PE'. The zip file contains instructions on how to add SwissKnife Plug-in and other files to BART PE. This version has the safety lock removed which prevents to create or delete partition on the drive OS is installed.

CAUTION: SwissKnife plug-in will instantly remove partitions from any disk drive, use it SAFELY.

In the league of GParted and PartitionLogic is QTParted. Its packaged with SystemRescueCD, which also has PartImage, a partition imaging/backup/restore program. I'm a happy user of it.

Depending on what os you have, there is one built in.

I like putting partition magic on a bootable disk. You can get the free trial and copy the files you need to the disk.
