How to Partition Linux With GParted

GParted, also called Gnome Partition Editor, is a Linux-based utility for managing the partitions on your hard drive. In order to make any significant changes to your system, make sure that your partitions are unmounted. The best method for doing this is GParted Live, a burnable boot disc. GParted Live uses a basic version of Debian Live to run the GParted interface without using your hard drive. This leaves the partitions unmounted and free to resize, move, modify or delete as you see fit.

1.Make a copy of your important files before making any major changes to your partitions. GParted recommends creating an image backup of your entire partition, if possible; utilities to do this include Clonezilla and Partimage. Repartitioning is typically safe for your file system, but errors can occur such as if your computer loses power.

2.Download the ISO file to create your live CD. You can burn this ISO file to disc using a basic burning program such as ImgBurn. If you have Windows 7, burn ISO images by double-clicking the file; the ISO burning dialog pops up automatically.

3.Insert the GParted Live CD into your computer and reboot. Select "GParted Live (Default Settings)" when the boot menu appears and follow the boot prompts to start up the system. GParted opens automatically once the boot is complete.

4.Select the partition that you want modify. Select them by using the rectangle representations along the top of the program window, or by clicking the partition names in the lower panel of the window. Delete the partition by clicking the "Delete" button on the toolbar or going to "Partition" and "Delete." To resize or move a partition, select it and click the "Resize/Move" button, or go to "Partition" and "Resize/Move." You can also create a new partition in any unallocated space; you can also copy partitions and paste them into that space.

5.Make any size changes to the partition in megabytes, or drag the edges of the rectangle partition representation. You can specify the amount of space on either size of a resized partition; this is effective if you need to extend a partition in front of the one you're making smaller. Make all the changes to your partitions as you see fit, and double-check that all the size, formats and labels are correct and as you want them configured.

6.Click the green "Apply" button on the toolbar. Repartitioning your hard drive can take several hours; do not power down your computer or otherwise interrupt the operation.
