I had unused space one one of my drives on my media PC, and decided to delete an unused partition, moved the partition next to it (a Linux partition) into that space, and expand the C: partition so I could have more space for programs. Now the C: partition is my Win7 System partition. The first two operations went smoothly, and after reading the documents about PreOS Mode decided to use the Partition Assistant to increase its size into the unused space (now next to it. If successfully done that would increase the size from about 97Gb to 145Gb.
I set this up, and then PC was rebooted. At first nothing seemed to happen except the drive light on the PC flashing on and off. Now I'd resized partitions before using GParted and knew this would take a long time, so I went off and did other things. That was about 8:30pm last night, and when I got up at about 4am there WAS some progress, to 28%. But it's now 12pm and it's STILL on 28%. The screen shows:this:
Should I wait longer? What can I do?
Still the same at 6:30pm
