I can confirm this bug. It seems this bug would be fixed simply to upgrading to new gparted 0.3.x upstream version (look at bug #81185 ), released on 2006-09-04, look at the release notes (http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=444805&group_id=115843
This release includes one of the most exiting features since the first release; We finally have full move support!! Although it should be considered a bit experimental, our tests worked out perfectly and we didn't see any errors so far. Special thanks for this release go to: JanC, for the initial idea on how to implement moving. Brother Larry, for the enormous amount of time he put into testing and bughunting. New Features: * it is now possible to move the start of filesystems. * much improved progressfeedback during move and copy * you can now move and copy ntfs filesystems and still boot windows from them * overall improved progressfeedback (more details you don't want to know about ;) ) Translations (new/updated): ja, es, vi, gl, nl, de, sv, lt, lv, hu, fi, fr, mk Changes: * mostly internal, far more exact calculations of partition geometry * dependencies raised for libparted (now 1.7.1) and gtkmm (now 2.8) * some trivial HIG stuff.. * due to cleanups the resulting binary is about 15% smaller Bugfixes: * automountdisabling should work ok now * fixed some errors with scanning for used sectors on ntfs filesystems * other small stuff i can't remember :) -- Edgy Installer: Partitioning Tool cannot enlarge logical ntfs partitions to the left https://launchpad.net/bugs/54119 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
