You won't be able to move sdc1 if sdc5 is in the way. Swap has no actual data on it. The safest and easiest thing is to delete it and re-create it. You should go to the meeting tomorrow! I might not be there as I leave for Denver the next morning.. maybe someone else out there wants to show up and help brian?<br>

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>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Hi all,<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>
<br>
