Re: Partitioning question
Boot from a live CD or USB. The main drive is then not loaded.

Yep, most liveCDs come with GParted by default, whic can do what you want.
I use the Mint ISO on a bootable USB for this and it's under System Tools on the default menu.

Yeah, you need to boot with a Live USB and shrink the partition with that. You can use this https://gparted.org/livecd.php It's only 400mb.
