GParted Partition Editor

[Thilina Dulanjana]

Can I use "GParted Partition Editor" as like as "Power Quest Partition
Magic" software?
ie: Can I re-size the partitions without affecting the data(without
formatting partitions) using this?

GParted is a free partition editor for graphically managing your disk partitions.

GParted is useful for tasks such as: creating space for new operating systems, restructuring disk space to separate user and operating system data, and copying partitions to enable upgrading to a larger hard disk drive.

Your hard disk drive or USB flash drive can be subdivided into one or more partitions. GParted enables you to reorganize your disk partitions while preserving the contents of these partitions.

Features

• Create partition tables (e.g., msdos, gpt)
• Perform actions with partitions such as:
  • create or delete
  • resize or move
  • check
  • label
  • copy and paste
• Manipulate file systems such as:
  • btrfs
  • ext2 / ext3 / ext4
  • fat16 / fat32
  • hfs / hfs+
  • linux-swap
  • ntfs
  • reiserfs / reiser4
  • ufs
  • xfs
  For specific actions supported see detailed features.
• Enable and disable partition flags (e.g., boot, hidden)
• Align partitions to mebibyte (MiB) or cylinder boundaries
• Attempt data rescue from lost partitions
• Supports hardware RAID, motherboard BIOS RAID, and Linux software RAID.
• Supports all sector sizes (e.g., 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 byte sectors)

I have only 2 primary partitions which contains win7 & hanthana. Gparted doesn't allow resize between those different file formats.How can I do that?

[Danishka Navin]

boot the system using Hanthana LiveDVD, and then do the manipulations on the hard drive.
do resize on a system that is being used.

Goes without saying that if you screw things up at this point, you loose
partitions. So take backups before playing with this.
