For example, if you have a 20GB ReiserFS partition located just before a 100GB Fat32 partition and you want to resize the ReiserFS partition 10GB larger, the Fat32 partition would need to beВ resized 10GB smaller and moved down 10GB to place the free space between the two partitions.

Boot into BootIt BM, enter Partition Work,В and resize or slide any existing partitions to make room for the resizing of the unsupported Linux partition.

The steps required to resize an unsupported Linux partition are as follows: Note that converting the driveВ may require deleting or relocating partitions to get the number of primary partitions down to four or less. By having the drive configured as MBR, resizing can be done at any time using GParted. This can be helpful when working with unsupported LinuxВ partition types if resizing is going to happen frequently. Warning: As there isВ a risk of data loss involved, it is recommended that a backup image of the drive (all partitions) be created prior to resizing the partition(s).Д«efore proceeding, consider converting the drive to a standard MBR type (or limiting primary partitions). To allow GParted to resize the Linux partitions on a drive where primary partitions are not limited requires configuring the drive in such a way that GParted won't corrupt any of the existing partitions. This method is appropriate for BootItВ BM users who do not limit primaries and is recommended for advanced users only. Method 2: Use the combination of BootItВ BM and the GParted Live CD. For this situation, Method 2 described below is recommended. GParted will see any partition not included in the MBR partition table as unpartitioned space, and therefore could overwrite existing partitions that it doesn't know about. This is because when primaries are not limited, all partitions known to BootItВ BM may not be in the MBR partition table at any given time.

For more information on how to use GParted, please refer to the GParted documentation.Д¬aution: GParted will not be appropriate for resizing partitions on systems where BootItВ BM is configured to not limit primaries, meaning the Limit Primaries setting for the drive is not checked. It can be used to resize Linux partitions in one step from a graphical environment. The most commonly used Live CD for this purpose is probably the GParted Live CD, which is a bootable CD containing primarily the GParted program. GParted is a graphical partitioning utility, and is available on many Linux Live CDs, as well as on many installation CDs that double as Live CDs. This method is appropriate only for BootItВ BM users who limit primaries, meaning that the Limit Primaries setting for the drive is checked. Method 1: Use the GParted Live CD to resize in one step. ForВ unsupported LinuxВ partition types use one of the methods below. Note that BootIt BM supports resizing Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4 Linux partitions.

It is highly recommended that you have a reliable backup of the partition (such as a partition image) before proceeding with the resize operation. Warning: When resizing any partition, there is always some risk of data loss, regardless of which method is used to resize it.
