Thanks for your response ... but I still don't understand how to proceed. I've replaced the previous screen capture with one that is clearer and more readable: http://upquick.com/temp/gparted.jpg > Hard to say exactly with the screenshot so fuzzy, but it appears you have > selected the first partition INSIDE the extended/logical partition area. > You can't move it to the left without first resizing the logical partition > (presumably back to right after the exd of the only primary position). > Then you should be able to move the first partition in the extended space. How can I resize the logical partition? I need to move everything except the first partition to the left to make room to increase the size of the last partition on the right. ---------------------- > On Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 1:23 PM, wrote: >> I have used gparted to resize/shrink two partitions to free up space >> so that I can (I hope) increase the size of one partition that has >> run out of space.
