So I install qparted and flash it up. It picked up the disc no problem and teased me by telling me all the things it could do for me. Who needs partitionmagic. However, I am using Kubuntu!!! The distribution without a root account. Qparted will tell me what it can do but won't do it outside of root. So now I am off to the Ubuntu forums to find out how to use qparted in Kubuntu... Or to PC World to buy partitionmagic and get the job done.

In the terminal type "sudo qtparted", then enter your password, this has the effect of running the program as the root user.
