question 3

how to move the swap space in hdc7 to hdc2 so that linux partitiion ans swap partition r contigious



plz tell me in a detailed manner

or any material to study or links

2. Between hdc6 and hdc7 there appears to be some unallocated space. 4534 - 7060
1. You need to move hdc6 to the end of hdc7. Shrink hdc3 so remove the extra space. Then shift hdc3 to the end of the drive. Then move hdc2 to create unallocated space between hdc1 and hdc2. Then expand hdc1.
3. I wouldn't worry about it.

Windows partition magic or linux qtparted are capable of moving partitions around. Be sure to backup and any all data you do not want to lose. Google for more information.
