Topic: move ext3 partition stops due to read error

When I move a ext3 partition (the rootpartition) gparted comes with a read error after about 2 min. I boot from the live-cd.
What can be wrong?
This is the listing:

Which is the Gparted livecd version you use?

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***
