I am using GParted and the only way to resize the partitions is to turn off swap and turn off extended since ext3 is inside the extended and so is swap.The one I want to resize is ext3
The command swapoff should turn off swap. When you say turn off extended, do you mean get rid of the extended partition which has an ext3 partition? As far I know, you would have to delete the ext3 partition first and then redo the extended partition.

If you mean dismount the ext3 partition, you could try.Code:umount /my/partition
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.

Here is more information
All partitions become unmounted after doing the command to umount swap which would be swapoff /dev/hda5 it works but and I resize it and it does it but completes it but the partition is still not resized

Did you explicitly write changes?
Tools like GParted don't change your partition size until you explicitly write the changes. Maybe it's a menu option, maybe it's a button. But until you say to the application "Write my changes to the disk", it won't take any action. This is because changing partitions is fairly serious business and can mess up your computer really badly. The application wants to make sure you're not overlooking something or making any dumb mistakes.
Look for something like "write partitions to disk" or "save partition table" or something like that.
I lost my self-respect at Wes' Rib House
I pressed apply and gave me the warning do want to do this then I hit apply
but it still doesn't work.
Both System Rescue Cd and GParted Live Cd fail after
-ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
Resize function doesn't appear in QTParted on Knoppix or any other QTParted program on live cd
Should I download Ubuntu Beta Live Cd since will have an upgraded version
