It is better to enter the command in the terminal, after checking the device path (eg /dev/sda, /dev/sdb etc) , because letters depend on the devices connected to the computer in a given time, especially with external devices connected.

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