Topic: Unable to move partition
Noob question here. I am dual-booting Windows Vista and Ubuntu Intrepid. There is a lot of empty space on my hard drive, but GParted (LiveCD 0.4.5) is not letting me move one of the Ubuntu partitions into it.
Here is the general layout:
[Windows partition] [unallocated] ["Ubuntu", ntfs, 3GB] [extended Ubuntu partition (includes Ubuntu data, swap, etc.)]
I'd like to move "Ubuntu" to the left in order to enlarge the partition that has all my data under Ubuntu on it. I'm not really sure what the purpose of this mostly unused partition is (I'm assuming it was made when I was installing Ubuntu). In any case, when I tried to move it GParted said it had a "very rare fragmentation type" that is not supported yet and that I should try defragmenting it. However I have not been able to find any Linux defragmentation tools for NTFS partitions. Is it ok to just delete this partition or what?
