You are still trying to make an argument out of nothing :groan: as nowhere in my posts can you ascertain that I do not value other peoples data. It is just your fanciful imagination. |

As mentioned earlier in the thread, you just need to move the XP partition towards the end of the disk first, before trying to extend the WIondows 7 partition. Yes, GParted can do this for you. |

| 1200362 | 2011-05-09 05:51:00 | Download This here (www.box.net) - its the bootable CD /ISO of Paragon Partition Manager. ( 7.2MB) It came with a free version a short while ago in a magazine (32bit OS BTW.) Burn it using your ISO program, then boot from the CD.. You should be able to select the XP Partition, move it sideways - action it, then reboot, normally ( to let it "settle in as I call it), then assuming alls well, boot from the CD again, and extend out the W7 partition to the free space - doing it all at once can cause problems. Following on from what out two friends have been "discussing" ;) Pays to back up your data if possible before hand. Just in case - I have known it all to turn pear shaped, no matter how careful you are. |

Linux models have changed in recent times. I like it how you can now install on free space rather than having to partition as you once had to. |

| 1200366 | 2011-05-09 06:30:00 | Yep. Linux models have changed in recent times.Absolutely - that's one of the things I like about it; there's just so much innovation that constantly happens. The average release cycle for the mainline kernel is about six weeks at the mo (current stable is 2.6.38.5, and 2.6.39 is nearly out; it's at rc6 currently). I like it how you can now install on free space rather than having to partition as you once had to.Mmm, this was always technically possible, but it wasn't something that was easily available to the average Windows user - and let's be realistic, those are the people who are most likely to find this installation method useful. The new tools that assist with setting this up (notably Wubi) have made a huge difference in making Linux much more accessible :thumbs:. |

| 1200367 | 2011-05-09 08:07:00 | Well, I have deleted the XP partition because I no longer needed it and use 7 64bit. I was able to then extend the partition. (Can always reinstall XP) Thanks for all the help and it will probably come in handy next time. - I really needed the space quickly. :D |
