So I currently have an inconvenient partition config on my win7/ubuntu system. what i wanna do is to have the extended sdb3 moved ajar like in the screenshot to later add a swap and home partition (latter is on another drive).

Despite the easy sounding explanation here How can I expand a partition into non adjacent free space using GParted? gparted only allows me to put a copy (sdb4) of sdb5 to the desired location. i already tried desperately to make that copy boot-able (UUID in grub) for hours with no progress so far so i am open for any input.

What you're trying to do is to move the water without moving the glass it's in, so just move the glass and the water will follow!

Move the left edge of /dev/sdb3 (the glass) to the left and then move /dev/sdb5 (the water) to the left edge! :-)

And that's why they're both coloured blue...
