Simply moving the partition around shouldn't be a problem.

No, you run gparted from a rescue disk, i.e. reboot with the original installation disk in the drive and choose rescue mode. You can then run gparted. If for some reason gparted isn't there, you can download an iso image of a standalone linux system that basically just runs gparted.
