Open a terminal

	Applications->Accessories->Terminal

and enter the following command:

	sudo apt-get install gparted

enter your user password.  Once the process ends then go to:

	System->Administration->Parted

...

This GUI partition editor is fairly straight forward and you should be
able to expand your partition.  Back up your data just in case.
