I must disagree here. No tool that I tried could extend the partition. It is not the job of the user to go around and hunt for a tool that happens to work. Especially if he used for 15 years partitions that did not require such an exercise. For the record, I tried fdisk ( util-linux ) and Disk Manegement under Windows XP. Maybe some other tool too, I don't remember. So what are the advantegs of this, let's say "unusual", partitioning ? Because this is the first time I see such a thing.
