Preparing the live disk

As with preparing the Parted Magic module, this is fairly simple.

If you're using a CD or DVD to boot the live disk, simply burn it to a disk using your favourite burning program. macOS and Windows both include programs to burn CDs and DVDs, and with Linux I recommend you use K3B, which you can read about here.

If you're using a USB stick to boot the live disk, you can use Rufus to do this on Windows (use "DD" or "raw" mode). A tutorial to do this for Parted Magic (the process is almost identical) is available here.

If you're using macOS, you can use Etcher. A tutorial to do this for Parted Magic (the process is almost identical) is available here.

Linux users can use GNOME Disks to achieve the same result.
