You just boot the CD and tweak your drive. It can Shrink or Grow existing partitions within the capability of the drive

Thanks for the suggestion, I may try that. Is using a partitioned drive intuitive, after I create one? What the heck does this mean (from the GParted website)?
"Aligning partitions to mebibyte (MiB) boundaries works well with modern Operating Systems and all types of disk devices." I have an SSD laptop.




I have an external drive I can use, but it's a pain to plug it in when I want to open Calibre. Same with Photos. I moved all my photos to the external because my HD was full. A little inconvenient but I guess it's worth the space saved.
