My system currently has the following partitions:

Screenshot from GParted

As shown, there are two recovery partitions. Running reagentc /info (as suggested here) shows that sdb5 is the one actually being used.

I would like to delete the unused recovery partition (sdb1) and move all other partitions (sdb2, sdb3, sdb4, sdb5) to the start of the disk, leaving all unallocated space as a contiguous block at the end (ready for Linux installation).

My problem is that GParted will not seem to let me move the MSR partition (sdb3) - the "resize/move" option is just greyed out.

How can I accomplish this?


Solution 1:

Since gparted 0.33.0 you can move the msr as any usual partition if there is a free space to the left or to the right of the partition.
