In my initial letter I explained that gparted is refusing to shrink the
partition. This is the whole problem I am facing. Gparted says it has
found 1 or more bad sectors in the hard drive, due to which it refuses
to shrink the partition. Please kindly review the initial letter, and I
think the whole situation will be clear.
