That may be true if you are experienced to work with linux gparted. When launched, I was afraid to do something wrong while calculating the figures, so I went to more intuitive EaseUS instead, that, unfortunately looks to corrupt MBR. Thus, after extending the disk I performed recovery and update.
I believe the community will be grateful if you would shere step-by-step instruction how to use gparted for this case.

For gparted HDD partion resizing.
get Rufus: https://rufus.ie
get GParted Live bootable image (ISO) according to your processor architecture : https://gparted.org/download.php
Use Rufus to create a bootable USB stick. Video: http://youtu.be/1wDvQRLX4GM
Allow Boot from USB in your BIOS Boot Settings
Boot your PC from the GParted Live USB-Stick
I did this on a PC where I connected the cloned BS5 HDD , I did not work on the BM5 !!!!
You are working on the cloned HDD, if domething goes wrong, you can clone your BM5-HDD once more and start over again.
To resize the partion of the cloned disk from 500GB to 1TB (if your new HDD is 1TB) , in this Video you see how to get the unallocated space to the place where you need it : http://youtu.be/SALU-jmUiuc
an other video for the whole process with YUMI instead of RUFUS:
