Gparted is indeed pretty; I use it often to get a picture of the partition layout (I boot from System Rescue CD: http://www.sysresccd.org/). However, it leaves partitions in the wrong order if you insert one before another. Fdisk is ideal for fixing that: $ fdisk /dev/sda x f w Job done. -- Rgds Peter
