Thread: GParted Can't Resize Partitions


i trying dual-boot old windows xp ubuntu. knew have problems changing partitioning on drive. xp using ~50% of drive space. shrink , make space ubuntu ~25% of hard drive. when used system rescue cd (www.sysresccd.org), went normal gui gparted , not let me move sda1 ntfs (xp). know there way command line , know works. need instructions. please

before can shrink xp need disable virtual memory (swap), reboot, , defrag move down in partition. make note of virtual memory settings, can set them after resizing.

example when got computer in 2004 , tried shrink 200 gb drive install 64-bit xp pro beta , linux (suse @ time), shrink 25 gb ntfsresize linux rescue cd. years later when realized had temporarily rid of immovable virtual memory, have freed on 150 gb gparted, did not need ubuntu.

shrinking partition should go quickly. however, if going "move" partition (change begins), can take long time (overnight), without power failure or other interruption.
