Sorry for the double post but I've poked around a bit more. It looks
like I could expand sdc2 into the unallocated space and then move
sdc5 to the right and then shrink sdc2 to free up space next to
sdc1? If I can do this all graphically I'll give it a shot. I really
appreciate the help and I should know how to do this by now.<br>

Thanks Jason but this is probably more than I have confidence for
doing. Is there a meeting tomorrow night? I can bring the laptop
and drive and watch an expert show me how it's done! I have a
vague memory of doing something like this for another external
drive to gain the unallocated space and I didn't delete any
partitions but eventually could move them and resize (which is
about my skill level, unfortunately).<br>

Go ahead and delete that swap partition at /dev/sdc5 then move
the sdc1 over and recreate swap at the end of the disk you can
create it at sdc5 again, so that you won't need to change your
/etc/fstab. Unless its using uuid's.. you might just double
check your fstab when you boot up. Also you will need to "swapon
-a" after you get fstab all sorted.<br>

<br>
I finally got around to cloning my hd to a larger drive
and it seems to have worked just fine. Now I want to
resize the partition into the unallocated space and that I
can't figure out. I obviously need to move /dev/sdc2 to
the right and then expand /de/sdc1 into the freed space. I
can't move /sdc2 though. do I need to format the
unallocated space first? <br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
