My system currently has the following partitions:

As shown, there are two recovery partitions. Running reagentc /info (as suggested here) shows that sdb5 is the one actually being used.

I would like to delete the unused recovery partition (sdb1) and move all other partitions (sdb2, sdb3, sdb4, sdb5) to the start of the disk, leaving all unallocated space as a contiguous block at the end (ready for Linux installation).

My problem is that GParted will not seem to let me move the MSR partition (sdb3) - the "resize/move" option is just greyed out.

How can I accomplish this?

What you can do is to Copy the MSR partition to an unallocated space block and then remove the original Source. It worked for me previously, altough I would recommend not to change the order of the partitions. So first remove the partition labeled Recovery, then move the EFI system partition and only then copy the MSR. Hope it helps

Since gparted 0.33.0 you can move the msr as any usual partition if there is a free space to the left or to the right of the partition.
