I have 4 partitions on my HD, the the one was set up to use for expansion of any of the other 3. Since updating to Catalina I can't slide the partition boundaries nor input a new size except on the "last" partition. I need to enlarge my 1st and 2nd (going clockwise from 12 o'clock) and sacrifice space in the "last" partition which is unused. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance

Re-sizing partitions has never been guaranteed. You run the risk of crashing the partition Map and losing everything.
so before you begin, you need to make a Backup that includes all the important Volumes.
But once you have a backup of all the important Volumes, it make MUCH more sense just to erase the drive, set up the partition sizes you want, and restore the data.

That process seems to allow me to only enlarge the next to last (3rd) partition into the space previously occupied by the last (4th) partition. I need to enlarge the 1st and 2nd partitions using the space of the 4th partition. Any advice, anyone?
Thanks in advance
