    Exclamation GParted error while copying and pasting



    Hi Friends,
    I am in need of your help again. I was trying to take the backup of an Extended Partition in my pen drive using GParted. I used the following guide to do this:

    GPARTED DOCUMENTATION - COPYING

    But When I pasted in the unused space of my pendrive, it told that "the Destination is smaller in size than the source". My pendrive is of 4 GB and I created an unused space of 1 GB for taking the backup of that Extended Partition which is only 533 MB.

    How is it possible that my destination is smaller than the source? Please tell what is wrong in this.
