I'll plan on going to the meeting for sure. And to answer Scott, I
have used the gparted live cd but Jason is right and sdc5 is in the
way. I realize that deleting and recreating is potentially very easy
but part of the instructions are vague to me and me screwing up is
potentially there too!<br>

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>

expand sdc2 into the unallocated space and then move sdc5 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>

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>
