I personally usually just use GParted, myself, but I have heard that Partition Magic is a good option. |

So a long time ago I dual booted my computer to run ubuntu and windows, but I've really only been using windows since I got off my windows-hating high horse and realized ubuntu didn't have a lot of really necessary things I needed (photoshop, itunes, etc.). Anyways, I alloted way too much space for ubuntu and gparted won't let me make the ubuntu partition smaller and make the windows one bigger (I've been running off of less than a gig of hard drive space). Does anyone have any recommendations for a partitioner? Preferably one that I can just burn to a disk and is really user friendly (i.e. graphical user interface, etc.). |

Actually, you might try QtParted. |

If Gparted isn't letting you resize it, don't try and force it to resize with something else, you'll fuck it up. I did that once when I dual booted, and since Gparted wouldn't let me give Ubuntu more space, I used some Windows program and forced it to, and I couldn't boot into GRUB anymore. |

There's a good chance that if Gparted don't want to resize a partition, it's cause you're using it. If so you could try to download an ubuntu live CD, install Gparted to RAM (just open a shell and type 'sudo apt-get install gparted' or something) and try again. I've used that to resize a partition on my laptop, that didn't work directly from the OS. |

When i visit her dark realm,
Does it simply overwhelm.
Or use BackTrack instead of Ubuntu, as it has far better tools in the LiveCD. |
