[Malvern] Root memory.

I would also recommend using Clonezilla to make a backup of the hard drive 
before you start resizing.
As Chris wrote gparted is a good tool for resizing and you can download live 
disk iso's for both of the above because the partitions have to be 
u(n)mounted for both operations. They are both free downloads.
