gparted and qtparted are completely different things. Qtparted (and many others) are pratitioning programs that are intended to create and manage partitions on a hard disk. gparted is a recovery tool that is used to examine a disk where the partition table has beel lost, corrupted or overwritten and, by examining the contents on the rest of the disk, try to recreate the original partition table. Of course, there may be other programs on a Live CD that has been named after gparted, but that is not what you asked.
