This has been mentioned quite a few times on ACF. Note the
limitations:

Partition logic does not currently support the following:
* Partitioning of SCSI hard disks, and some SATA hard disks
* Non MS-DOS/MBR-style partition tables (i.e. Sun, BSD, EFI/GPT)
* Formatting filesystems other than FAT and EXT2
* Resizing filesystems other than NTFS (Windows XP filesystems)
* Serial mice
* USB keyboards and mice
* Keyboard layouts other than UK English, US English, Italian, or
German

So you can resize but not format NTFS, and format but not resize FAT.
Also, the OS (Viopsys) hasn't got networking implemented yet, let
alone support for all the different network hardware out there, so you
can't move data from your drives to somplace else on your network. Nor
can it handle writing to NTFS partitions.
I prefer to use linux live-cds (eg, SystemRescueCD). They do partition
management, and offer lots of other tools as well. And they boot on
almost anything.
