Tiny Core Starts Quicker

Parted Magic is useful when you don't have Tiny Core.

However, the same applications can be installed in Tiny Core, and Tiny Core starts quicker than Parted Magic, particularly if you use On Demand. You may want to install Tiny Core on a USB drive with appropriate applications, and use it instead of Parted Magic.

FAT32 and other Windows formats

You can also format a partition with FAT32 and other Windows formats, using Windows.
