I’ve never tried to dual boot my computer yet but if I do ill try Ubuntu and GPartEd. I couldn’t afford to lose anything on my hard drive but the problem is backing it all up and I have no idea how yet.

A few years back i used partion magic to dual boot an xp box with mandrake linux withouot any problems. I have to try it with Ubuntu though.

Since I cannot find documentation that says otherwise, I’ve been operating under the assumption that GPartEd wouldn’t save any data in the partition when moving/resizing it. If it does, it would have been nice to have that information about 18 hours ago. Really doesn’t help much now. :/

Hey, since you’re installing Ubuntu, why not use the GPartEd program included on the Live CD? (System>Administration>Partition editor)
That way, it’s possible to resize partitions in a much safer way, since changes are tested before applying them.
