Get the liveCD for gparted - looks like it should be do-able relatively easily.

thanks for that
i have downloaded the gparted livecd iso but cant get it to run because this is a VM - i have mounted the iso but when i boot - it doesnt show in the menu am i missing something - should i be using the md5sums??? |
please ignore my last post - i booted to the cd
i extended the partition no problem - no data loss that is a great tool thanks for youe help |
