This is what's been bothering me. I defragmented my only hard disc (and the only partition at that) as a preliminary step to create several new partitions. The result is two strips of used areas cleansed of data fragments. One begins from the very beginning of the available disc space and is 8 GB large. The other is located far away from the first; somewhere near 40 GB mark of 70 GB net storage and the size is .5 GB. One of the borders for partitions that I want to create runs right across the second used data area.
I am wondering what I should do to safely partition my disc. I am going to use GNOME Partition Editor run from a Linux live CD.
Thank you in advance,
