Testing under VirtualBox shows that it works and reports version 2013_08_10 under HardInfo. I’ve replaced all files that are present in both iso and pxe versions including contents of the initrd.img. That was the most important file containing the main filesystem. I’ve extracted the main SQFS archive from the 2013_08_10 pxe (it was inside initrd.img) and replaced the one inside the older 2013_08_01 iso image using IsoMaster. I haven’t found the 2013_08_10 iso version so I’ve decided to make a 2013_08_10 iso from these two. I’ve found a mirrored copy of a 2013_08_01 iso on MajorGeeks and a 2013_08_10 pxe version somewhere else. Old versions were still mirrored on some websites. The pxe variant of the fixed 2013_08_10 was briefly available on SourceForge. The 2013_08_01 is the last known version officially available for free as an ISO image and known to cause problems on certain computers (more in the update 3 below). The source code is not made public in the official website, it should be provided by request, as stated by the GPL license Parted Magic is under. There is currently no official way to download the ISO freely, although it’s legally available through other download services due to Parted Magic Linux distribution being GPLv2 licensed. Old and unstable images were still available for a few weeks on SourceForge and other websites. The distribution moved to a pay-for-download service. After the Parted Magic 2013_08_10 was released the ISO is no longer freely available for download from the official website. It was available for free from its homepage and various websites like. It is free (as freedom) software under the GPLv2 license. Parted Magic is a Linux-based bootable disk with disk partitioning and data recovery tools.
