Re: Need more space for MINT

You have to run gparted from a Live CD, so that the partitions you are changing are not mounted. But first of all make sure you clean up your XP partition (temp files, caches, unused software) and then defrag. You should also backup important docs. Then run a Live Linux CD and gparted and reduce the WinXP partition size and then increase the Mint / partition.
And I don't know of better software than gparted. You might also want to read the gparted documentation before you start.
