Partition resizing

[Blix775]

HI! I just setup my laptop for a dual-booth with Lubuntu 14.04 and Windows and I need to make the windows partition bigger since it's got just 2 Gigs left. I was wondering if there's any way I can re-size it with
gparted and if there's anything I should be aware. I noticed that -for whatever the reasons- the new gparted did not let me create logical partitions so all of these partitions are primary. I've ot a 34GB one for Windows, a 400GB for storage and around 24GB for linux. That's how it's setup going off the top of my head.

You will need to post more information for anyone to be able to do more than guess. Are you using MBR or EFI boot? Post the output of the command: sudo fdisk -l(Lower Case Letter L in the command) or post an image showing drives/partitions from GParted or post the output of parted -l(Again Lower Case L) so we have something to work with.

If the Windows version is Vista or newer, do NOT, repeat NOT, use gparted to resize it. Recent Windows have their own Disk Management utility and you should use that.

I'm using MBR and the output from sudo fdis -l is this:

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors

parted -l is not outputting anything.

And mark, how do I use window's partition manager? I'm running Windows 7 on this machine.
