Cannot enlarge winxp-partition- with gparted on usb-stick
On a 2tb-hdd with gparted(usb-stick)I wanted to enlarge D from 320 to 420gb to enlarge remaining 80gb free space to 180. could not defrag remaining undefragged 37gb video-files. defragging only partly possible. reduced reserved recycle-bin-space to 0.
1. reduced F by 100gb and enlarged E by 100.
2. reduced E by 100 and tried to enlarge D by 100.
at the end i see 5.4gb free space between E and F
D unaltered.
I did not reboot between the actions.
computer-management winxp does not show anything alteres, except these 5.4 gb free space added. Thanks

Did you apply the changes?
Does not sound like you did.
-
yes apply was done. wierd. will restart. what must be done with the free space? was my tactic ok. multistep-procedure. I remember when i had to interrupt this procedure(could not wake of monitor anymore) leading to that partition-overlap which is still unresolved.

Free space, i just leave it be.
Reboot might work.

I could try with windows-version partition magic. i think i once was succesfull on that drive.
using external version on a boot-cd(multiple programs on it) shows 110-error.
Still dont know how to produce a boot-version PM alone.
ok will retry gparted first.

SOLVED
Solved with Partition Magic-win which has a repair-function which gparted does not have. partition table and other things had to be repaired. if only i could repair the drive with overlapping C and D that easily. i will give it a try. one of both drives(the copy not the original which i messed up) can boot. maybe installation of PM there could help. didnt alter C after the incident happened.
How i solved it here:
I switched from Gparted to PM and back finding out that the tasks could not be executed. . Also not possible when doing one step after the other with reboot. Of course i had to repair again(in PM) after gparted trials.
I finally did also fuse the remaining 5gb-space. i remembered there will be new directory for that in D. Now i will rerun defraggler. yes after defragging the normal way defraggling the file-list was not possible before.
