GParted 1.4

bmc — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 18:53:03 GMT

Does anybody have a copy of an ISO file for GParted 1.4 - I already have 1.5 but want to down grade to try something.

Can get a tar.gz file online but don't seem to be able to extract an install .exe file using 7-zip

Thanks

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ seems to have links to all previous releases, with iso's

Thanks - either would probably work but I took the direct link.

Installed to a USB and used on a bare bones NUC12. GParted 1.5 wouldn't work but 1.4 did!!!!

Just an update to this thread.

After nuking my previous NUC8 by short circuiting the motherboard I bought a new bare bones NUC12 with an SSD installed. My plan was to put my M.2 card with my Linux install in it. Turns out the M.2 drive is MVMe only so that didn't work.

While (from memory) I could start GPatred 1.5 with no MVME card in I couldn't access the BIOS. Clonezilla also worked and using that I managed to butcher my Linux clone so it looks like I'm going down the fresh install route with all the fun and games that invloves with VirtualBox to run a Win7 OS.

Anyway with no MVME card I think the NUC ran both GParted Clonezilla. After putting a card In I got the following.

Clonezilla didn't work until I upgraded to a newer version.

GParted 1.5 didn't work but 1.4 does

Linux Mint 17 & 18 got no reaction at all.

Linus Mint 19 gave the opening screen and then a blank scren with a flashing cursor.

Jumped to Linux 21 which has installed.

Have you checked that the NUC has the latest BIOS installed ? (v0088)

There seem to be a surprisingly large number of updates in the BIOS history release notes !

There might be something in there that is giving you grief with your installs ?

Yep - re-installing the BIOS was one of the things I tried.

I now have GParted & Clonezilla available on USB and Linux 21 intalled on the MVMe card so, apart from some hard work, I'm up and running.

No data has been lost so that's one good thing.
