Resolved - with Knoppix 3.9 parted move/resize works fine with for my SATA drive.
Knoppix 3.8.1 CD boots on my PC successfully and mounts my SATA drive correctly such that I can view and edit files on all the partitions.
However parted and qtparted fail to resize a FAT32 partition reporting the message "The information sector has the wrong signature (0)".
Any suggestions? PC has Asus A7V600-X motherboard with VIA 8237 SATA and single SATA drive attached. Output from parted:
