Running gparted from Live CD

After installing F10 on my netbook I decided to reorganize the
partitions to gain space for Fedora and reduce that available to
Windows. I booted the Live CD (actually a Live USB pendrive) and used
yum to install gparted on the running system.

However gparted won't let me move the extended hd partition where I
installed Fedora. It claims that "at least one" of the sub-partitions is
mounted, but I can't see it listed under 'mount' and don't understand
how it can be mounted if I'm running from the pendrive and haven't
explicitly mounted it myself.

Any thoughts?

PS I also tried the live gparted download but it has video problems on
this machine and is unusable.
