First let me say I am new and have limited knowledge . 
The drive I am cloning is 40gb GPT drive  , The target drive is 640gb .
I have cloned it successfully (without resizing partition's) several times and it boots and works fine .
Now that I know it works I am trying to clone to 640gb drive so that  all 640gb is available.
I have read I can do this by using Partition Properties but when I try the Partitions Properties tabs are grayed out and unclick able
I suspect it because the Partition I am trying to resize  is a EXT3 partition ,
I was hoping somebody could help me out with this issue .
Again the source disc is a 40gb GPT with two partitions 1st looks like a unformatted system partition 2nd is EXT both labeled primary
At first I thought it was because I was using free version but have since purchased key and still same issue
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi mhernandeznj,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the forum.

I'm afraid that Reflect is currently unable to re-size EXT3 partitions.  You may be able to use a 3rd party partition manager  to achieve your desired results however your millage may vary.

This thread may be of interest to you.

Thank you for the reply .
I did take a look at the information you provided .
Like I said I'm not that experienced , It appears to me that the Gpart program is only available as a image that
you put into a usb or disc then use it to boot your system to resize partition . I'm not sure I have that right maybe I missed another download for a different version.
The partition I want to resize is a Linux partition on a hard drive I attached to my W7 PC .
Also I believe the  Linux disc partition I want to resize is not the part of disc that has boot info on it . The Linux disc is for a HTPC
I am also not sure if I have the skills needed to write commands , Is that needed ?
I am use to using programs like easeus partition master (which is a joke compared to Macrium Reflect )
Does it make sense to use a bootable program on a job like mine .
And sorry if this is just me being unable to see your advice properly

Hi mhernandeznj,

Yes Gparted can be burnt to CD or USB, although we are unable to support Gparted there is a tutorial on this website.

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-gparted-to-resize-your-windows-vista-partition/

You can boot into the CD and re-size your partitions using a graphical interface (a bit like Easeus)

Perhaps one of our other forum members can recommend a Windows based program that they find confertable to use.

Kind Regards
