Partition Magic 7 and no it's really ext2... According to the PowerQuest web site I should be able to boot into PM7.0 and right-click on the partition and select Resize/Move... no dice. I'm also not able to copy ext2 partitions (from an earlier expirement on a completely different machine, that I'm also sure was really ext2) so I suspect that something about ext2 support in PM7.0 is off... The System Rescue CD that was pointed out looks like exactly what I need but it hangs at the "Starting USB and PCI hotplugging"... so I'm downloading their current beta and trying that... the Gentoo LiveCD had no problem with this machine so I don't know what the issue is...
