Thank you Ken for your reply,

I had attempted resizing the Linux partition, before asking the 
question, using the copy of gparted that's on the computer because I 
cannot find the gparted boot disk. I don't think that the partition can 
be resized while the partition is in use. I'll just have to download and 
create another gparted boot disk.
