Topic: GParted hangs "failed to find driver" Win 2003 Server Proliant DL380

Downloaded the latest GParted - also tried slightly older version - GParted hangs at a "failed to find driver" message, apparently driver for the hard drive is not supported.  Running HP DL380 with 36GB hard drives, SmartArray P400 Controller.  Running RAID 5.  Plan is to expand C: partition by grabbing space from the E: partition.  Any suggestions are most welcome!

Please give GParted live 0.4.5-2 a try. It comes with newer kernel, so maybe it supports your hardware.
Please post your results.

Thanks - will give that a shot this Saturday (next time we can bring the server down) and let you know how it turns out
