This mess is thanks to Partition Magic :(, at the moment i saw this i
decided to start working on gparted :)

About the "plenty-of-time-thingy", it's summer on this side of the
world, which means the universities are closed. Within one week, i'm
back studying en my spare time will be limited again.
But don't worry, i feel very motivated about this and i'm sure i'll find
time. Thanks for the offer of helping!
