I ran into a little snag with QTParted.

I have 3 partitions:
1) primary partition (NTFS, Windoze and apps)
2) extended partition (1 logical drive, NTFS, data)
3) primary partition (FAT32, IBM rescue/restore partition)

I was able to move #3 to the end of the drive with QTParted, but
when I selected #2 (or the logical drive), it does not give me
the option to move the partition.

Is this a limitation of parted or qtparted?  Should I be able
to do this with the command-line version?

TIA,
C
