    As we know, resize partition can not be supported by earlier built-in disk partition management in Windows XP, 2000, 2003. Luckily, Partition Assistant has the functions which the Windows “Disk Manager” doesn't have. http://www.extend-partition.com/help/how-to-res

    Hello

    Shouldn't the command to launch gparted be gksu gparted instead of sudo gparted?
