I am right in assuming that the rescue CD, is the FC2 #1 disk and use "linux 
rescue" from the prompt.

So... I thought I would try the above method for starters, however after 
moving /dev/sda3 with no trouble, when I try to resize /dev/sda2 I get this 
Error: "Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled"

I have run out of time tonight, but hope this can be resolved..

Cheers,

Colin
