[LUG] Resizing partitions.

 

Hi all.  I wish to reduce my Windows partition and expand my Ubuntu (11.04) partition.  I've tried using GParted (live cd) and with its user-friendly GUI, things look to be very straightforward.  I can shrink the Windows partition and expand the extended partition which contains the Ubuntu, but when I go to complete the process, I get an advisory which says moving the start sector may result in the PC failing to boot.  So, I am very reluctant to go ahead just in case.  Will it be ok?  Do I have to move the Ubuntu section over to the left of the newly resized extended partition?  Is there anything I can do to ensure it will boot..?  Many thanks for any advice or guidance.  Jack.
