Resizing partitions using GParted
GParted is a Gnome Partition Editor for the Linux Operating System. GParted can be used for creating, destroying, resizing, moving, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging).
It has a User Interface which at times reminds me of the ‘Disk Management’ tool within Windows XP/2003.
The UI is simple to use and the tool in itself is quite robust. It goes about getting its tasks completed without too much of fuss! In the tests that I did, I did not lose on any data when resizing NTFS and EXT3 partitions.
GParted is available as a standalone application (93MB) that can be downloaded and installed on your Linux partition. But the best option is to download the Live CD version so that you can keep it handy. The Live CD boots up and launches the application.
Here are some screenshots taken from the GParted website:
