Never mind the the parted magic part of it, what you're after is the GUI OS and file management that comes with running it. It's like any windows style OS, like the mainstream Linux distros and Windows itself, so even if you've never touched Linux before you'll feel like "ah well, it's almost like MS Windows". Only hurdle might be to navigate the dev-this, dev-that part of it

LOL that's true!
Never used it, so never thought about it. Should be graphical enough UI for command line shy folks like me and kees.
Kees: Either just go to Filemanager via remote arrow right when parked on System or hook up a mouse (if you don't have it already and in such case activate mouse in the sys/input menu) and right click the little arrow under System (pardon if I state for you obvious stuff).
I just tested it, then you just navigate to source directory in one half of the screen, target directory in the other (you might need to do something in the direction of add folder to see either or both of the drives in the FM, separate process from adding directories to Video, Music etc methinks) right click the folder, choose copy, confirm and tadaa!!
In case you feel like you should take some time in the n00b corner, I'll join you
Besides, now you'll never forget about UBCD and such. It has helped me many a time to be able to do things via a live Linux environment. Besides, if you ever need to change around partitions, Parted Magic is da poop.
