It's been a while since I have needed to resize a partition like this. (I didn't allot as much space as I ought to have done; these new systems keep taking up more and more space, since bigger hard drives are getting cheaper and cheaper.) I found a free version of gparted as a live CD iso file on SourceForge. https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/latest/download direct download link https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gparted/gparted-live-stable/0.30.0-1/gparted-live-0.30.0-1-i686.iso?r=&ts=1521342540 This should do the trick for me. I am already familiar with gparted, and it's free, and pure Linux.
