I just tried Gparted Live 1.6 on Ventoy on UEFI. It works.

Basically, try #1. If it doesn't work, try #2. If that doesn't work it 
is possible you need a different ISO file, maybe older or newer.

I have seen the "No bootfile found for UEFI" error on several ISOs in 
the past. Usually a Ventoy update fixes it.

So, it started to boot successfully. Now it's asking you what drivers to 
use.

Pick #1, try or install, for the live environment. If the screen is 
corrupted, reboot and try #2.

If you get to a live Ubuntu desktop then Gparted is included and should 
work fine.

I think so, yes.

Try updating Ventoy. It is a non-destructive operation.
