Topic: New To GParted Looking for walk through

I'm new to GParted and want to resize my partitions from when I installed Ubuntu. I have burned the ISO to CD but can not unmount when actually using the Ubuntu. I would appreciate a link or instructions for verifying the ISO and for a walk through on the resizing. Thanks smile

I just gave a reply to the topic

You need to boot the computer from the livecd. It doesn't mount any partition, so you can work on them.
You can check the md5sum of your ISO download. The right values are given in the download page.

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