Hi
Env HW:
Laptop HP 650 x64 processor with BIOS UEFI CSM (secure boot disabled)
preparing to install debin dual boot with windows
ENV Gparted-live 1.1.0-1-amd64
With windows parttioner i create two more partitions
One to backup and one to install debian
i succesfully backup win partition with partimage (run inside gparted live )
when i try to resize new debian partition with gparted live ,it opens a windows but resizing option are greyed out ...
i can't change it..
i can format it ,but i can't resize to create linux swap
i was insted able to resize the backup partition
right clicking the partition giving proble,mount is greyed out ,so it is not mounted
i'm able to resize partition with windows diskmgmt
it seems gparted live keeps it allocated in some way ...
any help will be appreciated
thanks in advance
Maurizio

I do not really understand, but you need to umount. If mount is greyed out it is probably already mounted (and you need to umount first)

Hi Pan
further investigating ...
fedora live usb creator extract the .iso file to usb,i can see all files on the pen ...bit it give an error ...and says "not completed"
i will try with linux "dd" and update thread when i will able to extract error free

The error at the end of process was
extract_iso must be run before install_bootloader

I'm not sure what you are doing. Might post exactly the command you wish to use with dd.

Your posts are confusing, first you say you created a partition then can't resize in your first post, then in your second post your have problems with live usb creator. You need to give details on what you have done and what your attempting to do.

English is not my mother language...
so ..few info ,but clear
i create a usb bootbable gparted live
it can't resize the linux jfs partition
jfs is allocated to /dev/sda5 and is not mounted
i try also launching gparted with my old system-rescue CD
it behave in the same way
jfs partition can't be resized
i can resize swap ,but not jfs

p.s (about creating an usb bootable i create another thread to do not mix questions)

gparted can not shrink a jfs partition.

Hi Michael

i create a ntfs partition and gparted is able to resize
the problem is only with jfs...
thanks for the support
