    But even if they don’t want Linux, still use gparted and not a dodgy sounding pirated partition software…?

      Yes of course. But resizing partitions is a delicate operation at the best of times, and an unexpected shutdown in the middle of doing so with a dodgy sounding proprietary partitioning software is a lost cause.

        Oh yes, I agree with your first assessment, just confused the person still wants to try the dodgy software instead of your better suggestion of gparted. No doubt that partition is done for.

      Well GParted Live is a minimal Linux install, so if they really don’t want Linux, that could technically be ruled out :)
