Me too, I typed while looking at gparted.

Anyway since I had not heard anything I went ahead and moved the partition
yesterday and it seems to be fine.   Had to repair grub, that's all.

I have tried to post images in the past but they are never permitted here
it seems. Otherwise a screen shot would replace a lot of words.

Collin you have it right-  there is an sda5, it is linux swap.  I did not
mention it as it did not seem important.


thanks
