Topic: Can't get it to run

I'm running XP pro w/ sp3.  I have three partitions...  Bootable, extended w/ two logical drives.  All I want to do is increase my bootable drive and shrink my first logical drive by 4 to 5 Gb or so.  I boot from CD (0.3.7.7), it gets to the "scanning" window, I select the first logical drive, drag from the left until I get the required space preceeding the logical drive, select resize/move and it runs for around 5 seconds and reports an error.  I tried doing a screen shot, but cannot find the jpeg in my "root" directory.  Ive "defragged" the extended partitions, but this did not help.  Advice to fix my problem would be great as I do not want to re-install evertything on my HD.  If you can tell me how to get you a screen shot, I'd be glad to, as I know this will aid in sloving my issues.

Thanks -

Re: Can't get it to run

1. You have to shutdown windows properly before working with GParted. This causes sometimes problems.
2. The screenshots aren't saved on disk but they are in RAM, because the entire filesystem is kept on RAM only. You can mount a floppy drive or a usb memory to copy them there. There are some instructions in the documentation section
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/documentation.php

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