Hi People,
I want to extend my Ubuntu Partition, and get rid of the stuff on the other partition. I need a GUI app 'cos I'm no good at Command Line. Can anyone give me good suggestion?
TIA

I opened gparted, and could see the partitions. The only one that allowed me to do anything was the one I wanted to get rid of. So I deleted it. However the other partitions (including the now unallocated space) all seem to be locked. How do Increase the size of a partiton now?
TIA

The partitions you want to resize need to be unmounted. You might need to boot from the Ubuntu live cd and run gparted from there.
gparted is included on the live cd.

OK, this is a bit new to me, the CD I have is just a download. I don't know if it is Live or not. I partitioned in Windows, and then used the CD to install directly on to that partition.

Boot from your cd, most likely you will get a menu from which you can select "try Ubuntu without affecting your hard drive", (or something like that)
It will then boot to the desktop but be running off the cd.
