-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This was already partly answered by Jesse Kline. Reading the docs, what you need to do is create a boot disk (a parted one) and then your partitions will not be mounted. Yes I have done this quite a number of times for my main system (work station) and never lost any data. Yes I did a backup of the data, but never needed the backup. I used parted and not qtparted, but a proper parted boot disk is the only easy way to do it as far as I can tell.
Unless parted has gotten better since I used it, there was the limitation of not being able to move the beginning of the linux partitions. The doc files said how to get around this, so that is the method I used when necessary.
