hi guys/gals,
its been a while since I last posted here but when I did I got some excellent advise.
So, my current system is an XP / Linux dual boot. 9 Gigs XP, 3 Gigs Linux. Ive been using linux more and more since I installed it and now I want to increase the linux partition to give myself some more space. I have created 4 Gigs of free space in my windows partition and want to transfer 3 gigs of that free space into the linux partition.
I want to know what is the best progam to use or method of partition resizing. any advice would be welcome. Ive started to fiddle with the 'Parted' application but I dont want to make any drastic changes without fully understanding what Im doing. for those of you who know 'Parted' here is the output of a 'print' command which displays my partition table:
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 9499.372 primary fat32 lba
2 9499.373 9601.347 primary ext3 boot
3 9601.348 12276.232 primary ext3
4 12276.233 13037.124 extended lba
5 12276.264 13037.124 logical linux-swap
Sorry the table looks abit out of line, you can find a jpeg of it here:

Presumably I need to use Parted's 'resize' command, but which linux partition should I be resizing?
Cheers Andy
