Forgot the screenshot! As you can see I ended up with a couple of
bits of unallocated space that I can't get rid of for some
reason....<br>

Just and FYI, I ran these steps and had to run a couple of them
more than once as GParted would give errors about overlapping
partitions or ending a partition before its beginning but those
seem to be the result of the click and drag approach being a bit
sloppy. Here's what I ended up with and it is not only bootable
but the larger, faster HD now resides in my Toshiba Satellite and
is happily running. Now I would love to replace the CPU with
something that can run hardware acceleration and 3D graphics so I
can run certain VMs that require the same and if I update to
Ubuntu 11.04 I can run Unity (not that I want to run it but it is
the default Desktop). Right now I have a Genuine Intel(R) CPU 585
@ 2.16GHz which is plenty fast but the added features cannot be
enabled. Any advice?<br>

See you at tonight's meeting.<br>

I ran through these steps, but didn't apply them, on the live cd
and moving the swap partition throws a warning that the disk may
not boot. Apparently the same steps as Jason mentioned to
restoring fstab settings, etc. fix that problem if it happens so
this seems like a way to attempt it at least and be no worse
off. BTW, the disk is now an external drive so if I lose it it's
no big deal to clone my laptop drive onto it again and start
over...I think!<br>

I googled here and there and found a post of the exact same
issue and here's the resolution. I actually considered this
after booting the gparted cd and seeing I could try it but it
would have been conjecture otherwise on my part. Does this
look reasonable rather than deleting and recreating the swap
partition?<br>
<br>
<i>"Ok, So I got it figured out. Here's the screenshot anyway
and I'll tell you what I did in case anyone else runs into a
similar issue.<br>
<br>
The issue was that I couldn't move the swap (/dev/sda5)
partition to the end of the drive in order to expand the
/dev/sda1 partition. The reason the swap partition could not
be moved was because it resides inside an extended partition
/dev/sda2. The solution was a 4 step process. <br>
<br>
1. Expand the /dev/sda2 extended partition to the end of the
drive.<br>
2. Move the /dev/sda5 swap partition to the end of the (now
larger) /dev/sda2 extended partition.<br>
3. Shrink the /dev/sda2 extended partition back down to just
the size of the /dev/sda5 swap partition.<br>
4. Extend the /dev/sda1 ext3 partition to the end of the
unallocated space."<br>

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>

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>

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>
Brian<br>
