My Win7 Drive C: is very full; I would like to enlarge it and have taken 
off what I thought I could .
Most data is on Drive E:,which has plenty of space. The second partition 
in the Extended area is what I would like to move next to /dev/sda2 to 
enlarge it.
All thoughts welcome.
Problem area::
1 HD dual boot, Win7 and Ubuntu
with these partitions:

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x55410a13

Partition table entries are not in disk order

* I would like to move this out of extended in make it a part of /dev/sda2

Flash drive from which Ubuntu was booted to use GPartEd:
