Jan 6, 2013 at 17:33 | comment | added | Tyler | 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. | |

Jan 6, 2013 at 17:31 | comment | added | jdh | (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. | |
Jan 6, 2013 at 17:25 | comment | added | Tyler | 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. | |

Jan 6, 2013 at 17:23 | comment | added | jdh | Skipping 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? | |
