you can use Gnome Partition Editor for extend a partition also known Gparted LiveCD .A disk device can be subdivided into one or more partitions. The GParted application enables you to change the partition organization on a disk device while preserving the contents of the partitions.

With GParted you can accomplish the following tasks:

* Create a partition table on a disk device.
* Enable and disable partition flags such as boot and hidden.
* Perform actions with partitions such as:

• create or delete
• resize or move
• check
• label
• copy and paste

You may be in the Ubuntu Live environment gparted and ntfsprogs install. You do not necessarily special GParted Live CD to burn.so Install gparted and ntfsprogs. Then you also gparted resizing NTFS partitions. Note: very recent versions of the NTFS file system is sometimes wrong and it is no longer bootable.

I have the GParted Live CD to a bootable usb stick put. But I can not change. He only sees my hard drive but that this is 111.79 GB unallocated space. It sees no partitions, both NTFS and Ext3 not. On my USB stick gparted sees that there fat32 on it.

With GParted can not be mounted for partition resizing. And your root partition is mounted it exactly. So you would with a Live CD to try only indicates that you have no CD player. And with Partition Magic, it's not from Windows. Then you still have the option to use Parted to start going in the single-user mode. But then a fdisk-l useful you can boot from USB anyway? Then would you Ubuntu on a USB stick can continue it and then boot your partitions with GParted to adapt.
