2Skipping the slightly risky operation of resizing so many adjacent partitioins, have you considered backup up each partition, wiping the disk and then restoring them in the desired order where you could then resize them?– jdhCommented Jan 6, 2013 at 17:23

Considered? Yes. However, I'm in class tomorrow and require access to a complete development environment (Murphy's Law). Wouldn't the complicated restore operation be just as risky as the aforementioned partition traversal? I'd think so.– TylerCommented Jan 6, 2013 at 17:25

1(Your requirement is to be done before tomorrow's class or unable to reach computer with different tools?) The backup is safer, because if anything goes wrong, you'll at least get another chance. One mistake in the repartition (even if its not your fault, but gparted's), then you're hosed permanently.– jdhCommented Jan 6, 2013 at 17:31

This is true. I have access to Windows, and Mac computers on campus (but, how is this relevant?) My requirement is to be finished the partitioning operation tonight.– TylerCommented Jan 6, 2013 at 17:33

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
