Ok I am somewhat new to linux but I thought I followed instructions fairly well. But, something went wrong. Setup as follows:

Hardware
Motherboard: Intel DG31PR
CPU: Intel? Celeron? Dual-Core processor E1200
RAM: 1 GB 667mhz DDR2
Video Card: PNY GeForce 8400gs PCIe
Sound Card: Intel? High Definition Audio 5.1
HD: WD 500 GB SATA 2
DVD: Sony DRU-V200S/BR DVD/CD Rewritable Drive
OS: mythbuntu 8.041 (ubuntu myth combo)

I tried to upgrade my drive to a 1.5 TB seagate. I used clonezilla to clone the drive (i thought i had it set to resize the ext3 system part) but it made a duplicate of the size with about 1 tb unpartitioned. I then booted ubuntu live and used gparted to try and resize partition. It wouldnt let me resize the main part. so i removed the swap and then tried to resize it. it let me grow to about 1 tb then anything bigger it said cannot have a -1 sector or something (sorry i didnt write it down) and also recreated the swap at the end. It failed with other errors. Can ubuntu recognize drives bigger that 1 tb ? What can I be doing wrong. If more info is needed let me know. I would prefer to make the main part. full size (except about a 3gb swap) I am running m 1f40 ythbuntu and would find it easier than relocating folders.
